Stopped Random Walks: Limit Theorems and Applications (Applied Probability) (v. 5) (Hardcover)
by Allan Gut (Author)
Product Description
Classical probability theory provides information about random walks after a fixed number of steps. For applications it is more natural to consider random walks evaluated after random number of steps. This book offers a unified treatment of the subject and shows how this theory can be used to prove limit theorems for renewal counting processes, first passage time processes, and certain two-dimensional random walks, and how these results are useful in various applications.
About the Author
Dr. Allan Gut is a professor of mathematical statistics at Uppsala University in Sweden. He has published many numerous articles, and has authored and co-authored six books, four of which were published by Springer. Three of those books, including the first edition of this book, have sold out, and Probability: A Graduate Course, published in 2005, is selling well. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
