Competences
Students are acquainted with basic principles concerning stochastic processes as well as with fundamental techniques for proving and computing in this context as required for advanced courses.
Skills Knowledge
  • Understand and apply the concept of conditional expectation and its properties ;
  • Know fundamental properties of stochastic processes;
  • Model time dependent random experients with discrete states using Markov chains and study their properties;
