Module-inhoud

The objective of the module is that students be exposed to probability theory, learn the ability to follow fairly involved theoretical reasoning, continue to learn how to reason mathematically, and solve problems of a more practical nature.
It covers:
• Probability theory: Random variables and random vectors, Sequence of random variables, Transformation  of Probability distributions
• Stochastic Processes: Examples of stochastic processes; various types of stochastic processes
• Poisson Processes: Homogeneous and non-homogeneous stochastic processes with examples
• Renewal Processes: Renewal functions; ordinary and delayed renewal processes; Regenerative stochastic  processes
• Discrete-time Markov chains: continuous time Markov chains with focus on examples in Reliability, queuing and inventory models.
