Introduction to Stochastic Processes - Lecture Notes

1.1 Random variables Probability is about random variables. Instead of giving a precise definition, let us just metion that a random variable can be thought of as an uncertain, numerical (i.e., with values in R) quantity. While it is true that we do not know with certainty what value a random variable Xwill take, we

2 1MarkovChains 1.1 Introduction This section introduces Markov chains and describes a few examples. A discrete-time stochastic process {X n: n ≥ 0} on a countable set S is a collection of S-valued random variables defined on a probability space (Ω,F,P).The Pis a probability measure on a family of events F (a σ-field) in an event-space Ω.1 The set Sis the state space of the process, and the

RENEWAL PROCESSES 4.1 Introduction Recall that a renewal process is an arrival process in which the interarrival intervals are positive,1 independent and identically distributed (IID) random variables (rv’s). Renewal processes (since they are arrival processes) can be specified in three standard ways, first,
