Linda J. S. Allen (Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA)

An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Delineates stochastic processes, emphasizing applications in biology. This book is organized according to the three types of stochastic processes: discrete time Markov chains, continuous time Markov chains and continuous time and state Markov processes. It contains a chapter on the biological applications of stochastic differential equations.
