This course provides an introduction to stochastic processes. The items are as follows: Basics of probability, random variable, characteristic values of the random variables, probability generating function, characteristic function, basics of stochastic processes, Poisson process, renewal process, and Markov chain. Problem solving exercises in wide areas such as social sciences, economics in addition to sciences and engineering are studied.
The classes consist of lectures and exercises. Students will give presentations on homework assignments in the classes.
This subject is related to the clause 3 of the diploma policy of the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering.
The objectives of this course for the students are to understand the basic concept of stochastic processes in probability theory and how to handle the random variables and probability distributions dependent on time and the characteristic values of the random variables.
The term-end examination (80%) and presentations on homework assignments in the classes (20%) will be evaluated.
The acceptance line is accuracy rate of 60% in the above term-end examination and presentations on homework assignments.
