This is an introductory-level text on stochastic modeling. It is suited for undergraduate students in engineering, operations research, statistics, mathematics, actuarial science, business management, computer science, and public policy. It employs a large number of examples to teach the students to use stochastic models of real-life systems to predict their performance, and use this analysis to design better systems. The book is devoted to the study of important classes of stochastic processes: discrete and continuous time Markov processes, Poisson processes, renewal and regenerative processes, semi-Markov processes, queueing models, and diffusion processes. The book systematically studies the short-term and the long-term behavior, ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Modeling and Analysis of Stochastic Systems
From the reviews of the second edition: “The author has added a new chapter on Poisson processes and another one on Brownian motion. The discussion is kept on an elementary level and does not require any knowledge from measure theory or advanced calculus. … the text is suitable for an undergraduate course on probabilistic modeling for students from physics, ...
