Book Description:

Discrete phenomena are an important aspect of various complex systems, acting both as underlying driving mechanisms and as manifestations of diverse behaviors. However, the characterization of these discrete phenomena requires models that go beyond those featured in existing books. This text shows students how analytical tools are used to develop and solve discrete stochastic models. It also explains how to simulate the models computationally and generate data to compare with...
More DescriptionDiscrete phenomena are an important aspect of various complex systems, acting both as underlying driving mechanisms and as manifestations of diverse behaviors. However, the characterization of these discrete phenomena requires models that go beyond those featured in existing books. This text shows students how analytical tools are used to develop and solve discrete stochastic models. It also explains how to simulate the models computationally and generate data to compare with measurements. Each chapter includes problem sets and guidance to further reading.
