課程概述

Basic concepts for continuous-time stochastic processes, Poisson point processes and Gaussian processes. Spectral analysis of stationary processes. Renewal theory. Continuous-time Markov processes. Interacting particle systems. Examples from many fields of sciences.
Martingale theory and stochastic calculus will NOT be covered, 他們在機率論二.  

課程目標
We will discuss various types of stochastic processes and mathematical tools for understanding the random phenomenon which depends on time continuously. Providing scientific examples for students to get used to real applications. Systems with continuous parameters are benchmarks for discrete problems. Poisson and Gaussian distributions are two typical cases when experts do stochastic modeling. Renewal theory is the tool for analyzing systems repeating itself again and again. The interacting particle system, especially the contact process, is a way probabilists understanding the infectious virus. 
課程要求
Basic measure theory, say Royden Ch 1-6
