Pursuing a pedagogic approach, the content follows a path of increasing complexity, from the simplest random sequences to the advanced stochastic processes. Illustrations are provided from many applied fields, together with connections to ergodic theory, information theory, reliability and insurance. The main content is also complemented by a wealth of examples and exercises with solutions UR - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm:978-3-319-97412-5/1 UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95833837-applied-probability#CommunityReviews ER -
