In order to make sense of the theory, however, and to apply it to real systems, an understanding of the basic stochastic processes is indispensable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs well as providing readers with useful reliability studies and applications, \u003ci\u003eStochastic Processes\u003c\/i\u003e also gives a basic treatment of such stochastic processes as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Poisson process,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe renewal process,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Markov chain,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Markov process, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Markov renewal process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany examples are cited from reliability models to show the reader how to apply stochastic processes.
