Expertly balancing theory and applications, it features concrete examples of modeling real-world problems from biology, medicine, finance, and insurance using stochastic methods. No previous knowledge of stochastic processes is required. Unlike other books on stochastic methods that specialize in a specific field of applications, this volume examines the ways in which similar stochastic methods can be applied across different fields. Beginning with the fundamentals of probability, the authors go on to introduce the theory of stochastic processes, the Itô Integral, and stochastic differential equations. The following chapters then explore stability, stationarity, and ergodicity. The second half of the book is dedicated to applications to a variety of fields, including finance, biology, and medicine. Some highlights of this fourth edition include a more rigorous introduction to Gaussian white noise, additional material on the stability of stochastic semigroups used in models of population dynamics and epidemic systems, and the expansion of methods of analysis of one-dimensional stochastic differential equations. An Introduction to Continuous-Time Stochastic Processes, Fourth Edition is intended for graduate students taking an introductory course on stochastic processes, applied probability, stochastic calculus, mathematical finance, or mathematical biology. Prerequisites include knowledge of calculus and some analysis; exposure to probability would be helpful but not required since the necessary fundamentals of measure and integration are provided. Researchers and practitioners in mathematical finance, biomathematics, biotechnology, and engineering will also find this volume to be of interest, particularly the applications explored in the second half of the book.Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology,2164-3725Stochastic processesStochastic modelsMathematical modelsSocial sciencesMathematicsBiomathematicsStochastic ProcessesStochastic ModellingMathematical Modeling and Industrial MathematicsMathematics in Business, Economics and FinanceMathematical and Computational BiologyProcessos estocàsticsthubModels matemàticsthubLlibres electrònicsthubStochastic processes.Stochastic models.Mathematical models.Social sciencesMathematics.Biomathematics.Stochastic Processes.Stochastic Modelling.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.Mathematics in Business, Economics and Finance.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Processos estocàsticsModels matemàtics519.2Capasso Vincenzo1945-51830Bakstein David1975-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466403203316An Introduction to Continuous-Time Stochastic Processes2504060UNISA03650nam 22006375 450 991056468550332120251030144110.09789811905575(electronic bk.)978981190556810.1007/978-981-19-0557-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6962849(Au-PeEL)EBL6962849(CKB)21639816300041(DE-He213)978-981-19-0557-5(EXLCZ)992163981630004120220425d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Value of TVET in Advancing Human Development and Reducing Inequalities The Case of Palestine /by Randa Hilal1st ed. 2022.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (207 pages)Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,2213-221X ;37Print version: Hilal, Randa The Value of TVET in Advancing Human Development and Reducing Inequalities Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811905568 Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The Context: The Case of Palestine -- Chapter 3 Literature Review and Theoretical Framework -- Chapter 4 Methodology and Methods Used -- Chapter 5 Inequalities within a Context of Marginalisation -- Chapter 6 Capabilities and Achievements of VET Graduates with a Focus on Marginalisation - Contribution of VET to Human Development -- Chapter 7 Agency, Empowerment and Achieved Aspirations -- Chapter 8 Policies and Practices to Expand Human Development and Reduce Inequalities -- Chapter 9 Overall Conclusions.This book examines the contribution of Vocational Education and Training to advancing human development and reducing inequality. It uses the example of Palestine as case-study rich in multi-layered inequalities, some of which are experienced in the region and worldwide, while others are specific to adverse conditions. The case of Palestine provides fertile ground for understanding inequality and human development, and for echoing the developed knowledge through to the understanding of Vocational Education and Training and Human Development globally. The book brings original theoretical approaches, evidence of the value of Vocational Education and Training, and contributes to academic debates, as well as provides empirical evidence for practitioners and donor community.Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,2213-221X ;37Professional educationVocational educationEducational sociologyProfessional and Vocational EducationSociology of EducationEnsenyament tècnicthubCondicions econòmiquesthubCondicions socialsthubPalestinathubLlibres electrònicsthubProfessional education.Vocational education.Educational sociology.Professional and Vocational Education.Sociology of Education.Ensenyament tècnicCondicions econòmiquesCondicions socials607.1095694Hilal Randa1222868MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910564685503321The Value of TVET in Advancing Human Development and Reducing Inequalities2836913UNINA
