Applied Semi-Markov Processes

Aims to give to the reader the tools necessary to apply semi-Markov processes in real-life problems.
The book is self-contained and, starting from a low level of probability concepts, gradually brings the reader to a deep knowledge of semi-Markov processes.
Presents homogeneous and non-homogeneous semi-Markov processes, as well as Markov and semi-Markov rewards processes.
The concepts are fundamental for many applications, but they are not as thoroughly presented in other books on the subject as they are here.

Riassunto

Aims to give to the reader the tools necessary to apply semi-Markov processes in real-life problems.

The book is self-contained and, starting from a low level of probability concepts, gradually brings the reader to a deep knowledge of semi-Markov processes.

Presents homogeneous and non-homogeneous semi-Markov processes, as well as Markov and semi-Markov rewards processes.

The concepts are fundamental for many applications, but they are not as thoroughly presented in other books on the subject as they are here.
