Informationen zum Autor Richard F. Bass is Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Connecticut. Klappentext Comprehensive guide to stochastic processes. Accessible to beginning graduate students and researchers from applied disciplines. Zusammenfassung This comprehensive guide to stochastic processes covers a wide range of topics. Short! readable chapters aim for clarity rather than full generality and hundreds of exercises are included. Pitched at a level accessible to beginning graduate students! it is both a course book and a rich resource for individual readers. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Basic notions; 2. Brownian motion; 3.
