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. 410 0$aCambridge series on statistical and probabilistic mathematics ;$v14. 606 $aStochastic processes 615 0$aStochastic processes. 676 $a519.2/3 700 $aLindsey$b James K.$0102207 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457694803321 996 $aStatistical analysis of stochastic processes in time$9747969 997 $aUNINA
