This text offers a mathematically rigorous exposition of the basic
theory of marked point processes developing randomly over time, and
shows how this theory may be used to treat piecewise deterministic
stochastic processes in continuous time. The point processes are
constructed from scratch with detailed proofs and their
distributions characterized using compensating measures and
martingale structures. The second part of the book addresses
applications of the just developed theory. This analysis of various
models in applied statistics and probability includes examples and
exercises in survival analysis, branching processes, ruin
probabilities, sports (soccer), finance and risk management
(arbitrage and portfolio trading strategies), and queueing theory.
Graduate students and researchers interested in probabilistic
modeling and its applications will find this text an excellent
resource, requiring for mastery a solid foundation in probability
theory, measure and integration, as well as some knowledge of
stochastic processes and martingales. portions that are crucial and
those that can be omitted by non-specialists, making the material
more accessible to a wider cross-disciplinary audience.
