Introductory discrete and continuous probability concepts, single and multiple random variable distributions, expectation, introductory stochastic processes, correlation and power spectral density properties of random signals, random signals through linear filters.
Notice : Efforts on homework should be individual based on the material in class and in the book. Students that will get caught copying their solution from the solution manual, past solutions, or other students, will face disciplinary actions.
This is an advanced undergraduate+graduate course on applied stochastic processes, designed for those students who are going to need to use stochastic processes in their research but do not have the measure-theoretic background to take the Math 561-562 sequence. Measure theory is not a prerequisite for this course. However, a basic knowledge of probability theory (Math 461 or its equivalent) is expected, as well as some knowledge of linear algebra and analysis. The goal of this course is a good understanding of basic stochastic processes, in particular discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains, and their applications. The materials covered in this course include the following:Fundamentals: background on probability, linear algebra, and set theory.Discrete-time Markov chains: classes, hitting times, absorption probabilities, recurrence and transience, invariant distribution, limiting distribution, reversibility, ergodic theorem, mixing times;Continuous-time Markov chains: same topics as above, holding times, explosion, forward/backward Kolmogorov equations; Related topics: Discrete-time martingales, potential theory, Brownian motion;Applications: Queueing theory, population biology, MCMC.This course can be tailored to the interests of the audience.

All exams are take home.This course does not rely on a single textbook. In preparing the lectures I use multiple sources including the books listed below and web resources. References are provided in the detailed outline of the course, and lecture notes will be posted on Canvas are we progress. Lecture notes on probability theory:Lecture notes - advanced probability and measure theory (A. Dembo). Lecture notes - elementary probability (C. Grinstead). Main topics: Selective review of probability theory (Probability distributions, expectation) Convergence of sequences of random variables; Laws of large numbers Discrete-time Markov chains: Ergodic theorems, examples The Poisson process; Continuous-time Markov chains L2-theory of random processes; Gaussian processes and the Wiener process Discrete-time martingales; Convergence and inequalities
This course covers the basic concepts of probability theoryand random processes.Targeted at first year graduate students it introduces conceptsat an appropriately rigorous level and discusses applications through examplesand homework, such as to Digital Communication Systems. The syllabus coverselementary probability theory, random variables, limiting theorems such asthe Law of Large Numbers, the Central Limit Theorem, and Martingales,as well as Gaussian, Markovian and Renewal Processes.
Three extra topics not covered this semester are renewal processes, queueing theory, and the connection between random walks and electrical networks. If you are interested to learn more about renewal processes and queueing theory, check Chapter 3 and sections 4.5-4.6 of the textbook. For random walks and electrical networks, there is a very nice introduction in Chapter 9 of Markov chains and mixing times by Levin, Peres, and Wilmer, and much more information in Probability on trees and networks by Lyons and Peres.
