Course objectiveThe objective of this course is to develop students? skills and competency to model stochastic processes in real systems and implement and synthesize methods to analyze the random characteristics of these systems 
Learning outcomes
  1. Use the appropriate processes to model stochastic processes realized in systems
  2. Compute the transient and steady-state characteristics of the systems modeled by Markov Chains or renewal processes.
  3. Analyze the random characteristics of the systems modeled by Martingales
  4. Compute the characteristics of the systems modeled by various Brownian Motion
  5. Implement and synthesize necessary methods for parameter estimation in stochastic processes
  6. ? Follow up-to-date research and application articles about advanced stochastic processes
