"This well-written book provides a clear and accessible treatment of the theory of discrete and continuous-time Markov chains, with an emphasis towards applications. The mathematical treatment is precise and rigorous without superfluous details, and the results are immediately illustrated in illuminating examples. This book will be extremely useful to anybody teaching a course on Markov processes." Jean-François Le Gall, Professor at Université de Paris-Orsay, France. Markov processes is the class of stochastic processes whose past and future are conditionally independent, given their present state. They constitute important models in many applied fields. After an introduction to the Monte Carlo method, this book describes discrete time Markov chains, the Poisson process and continuous time Markov chains. It also presents numerous applications including Markov Chain Monte Carlo, Simulated Annealing, Hidden Markov Models, Annotation and Alignment of Genomic sequences, Control and Filtering, Phylogenetic tree reconstruction and Queuing networks. The last chapter is an introduction to stochastic calculus and mathematical finance. Features include: * The Monte Carlo method, discrete time Markov chains, the Poisson process and continuous time jump Markov processes. * An introduction to diffusion processes, mathematical finance and stochastic calculus. * Applications of Markov processes to various fields, ranging from mathematical biology, to financial engineering and computer science. * Numerous exercises and problems with solutions to most of them.
The book presents a detailed mathematical introduction to the main classes of Markov processes together with their applications in various fields. It has been developed from a number of successful courses taught by the author to a wide-ranging student audience, including in Mathematicians, Engineers and Biologists.
The core of the book presents the fundamental processes that make up this growing area of simulation and subsequent prediction. This includes the Monte Carlo method, discrete time Markov chains with values in a countable state space, the Poisson process, and continuous time Markov processes with values in a countable state space.
Built around this core are several applications of these processes. This includes the examination of both simulated annealing and the MCMC algorithms: the hidden Markov models for the annotation of the genome and sequence alignment: presentation of models and algorithms for phylogenic reconstruction: control and filtering, including the Kalman filter (to track a time-varying signal in the presence of noise): queues and networks: financial mathematics, including Ito calculus.
These applications, from a variety of areas, allow the reader to see the impact of the processes in use. To cement this understanding, numerous exercises are also presented and the reader is provided with the solutions either in the text or on the accompanying website.
