Stochastic Modeling Analysis Simulation Author:Barry L. Nelson This coherent introduction to the techniques employed for modeling dynamic, stochastic systems also provides a guide to the mathematical, numerical and simulation tools used in systems analysis. The text explores Poisson and renewal processes, Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, semi-Markov processes, and queuing processes.
