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. 410 0$aMathematics and Statistics Series 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aBiometry 606 $aProbability Theory 606 $aMathematical and Computational Biology 606 $aBiostatistics 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aBiometry. 615 14$aProbability Theory. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Biology. 615 24$aBiostatistics. 676 $a570.15195 676 $a570.1519282 700 $aSchwarz$b Wolf$01261316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910616380203321 996 $aRandom Walk and Diffusion Models$92930738 997 $aUNINA
