This book was first published in 2004. Many observed phenomena,
from the changing health of a patient to values on the stock
market, are characterised by quantities that vary over time:
stochastic processes are designed to study them. This book
introduces practical methods of applying stochastic processes to an
audience knowledgeable only in basic statistics. It covers almost
all aspects of the subject and presents the theory in an easily
accessible form that is highlighted by application to many
examples. These examples arise from dozens of areas, from sociology
through medicine to engineering. Complementing these are exercise
sets making the book suited for introductory courses in stochastic
processes. Software (available from www.cambridge.org) is provided
for the freely available R system for the reader to apply to all
the models presented.
