In recent decades these models have become widely used in areas far beyond their traditional origins in physics, for example, in studies of animal behavior, ecology, sociology, sports science, population genetics, public health applications, and human decision making. Developing the main formal concepts, the book provides detailed and intuitive step-by-step explanations, and moves smoothly from simple to more complex models. Finally, in the last chapter, some successful and original applications of random walk and diffusion models in the life and behavioral sciences are illustrated in detail. The treatment of basic techniques and models is consolidated and extended throughout by a set of carefully chosen exercises.Mathematics and Statistics SeriesProbabilitiesBiomathematicsBiometryProbability TheoryMathematical and Computational BiologyBiostatisticsProbabilities.Biomathematics.Biometry.Probability Theory.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Biostatistics.570.15195570.1519282Schwarz Wolf1261316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910616380203321Random Walk and Diffusion Models2930738UNINA
