What happened to discrete chaos, the Quenouille process, and the sharp Markov property? Some history of stochastic point processes

چکیده
The use of properties of a Poisson process to study the randomness of stars is traced back to a 1767 paper. The process was used and rediscovered many times, and we mention some of the early scientific areas. The name Poisson process was first used in print in 1940, and we believe the term was coined in the corridors of Stockholm University some time between 1936 and 1939. We follow the early developments of doubly stochastic processes and cluster processes, and describe different efforts to apply the Markov property to point processes.

ENTROPY FOR DTMC SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL
In this paper at rst, a history of mathematical models is given.Next, some basic information about random variables, stochastic processesand Markov chains is introduced. As follows, the entropy for a discrete timeMarkov process is mentioned. After that, the entropy for SIS stochastic modelsis computed, and it is proved that an epidemic will be disappeared after a longtime.
متن کاملArrival probability in the stochastic networks with an established discrete time Markov chain
The probable lack of some arcs and nodes in the stochastic networks is considered in this paper, and its effect is shown as the arrival probability from a given source node to a given sink node. A discrete time Markov chain with an absorbing state is established in a directed acyclic network. Then, the probability of transition from the initial state to the absorbing state is computed. It is as...

We will be closely following the book ”Essentials of Stochastic Processes”, 2nd Edition, by Richard Durrett, for the topic ‘Finite Discrete time Markov Chains’ (FDTM). These preliminary notes are for giving an overview, and for providing some guidance on what to aim at while studying this topic. An FDTM has a finite number of states on which it can rest at discrete times 1, 2, · · · . Usually t...
متن کاملRelative Entropy Rate between a Markov Chain and Its Corresponding Hidden Markov Chain
In this paper we study the relative entropy rate between a homogeneous Markov chain and a hidden Markov chain defined by observing the output of a discrete stochastic channel whose input is the finite state space homogeneous stationary Markov chain. For this purpose, we obtain the relative entropy between two finite subsequences of above mentioned chains with the help of the definition of...

Antonina Mitrofanova A Stochastic process is a counterpart of the deterministic process. Even if the initial condition is known, there are many possibilities how the process might go, described by probability distributions. More formally, a Stochastic process is a collection of random variables {X(t), t ∈ T} defined on a common probability space indexed by the index set T which describes the ev...
