An overview of Probability, Statistics and Stochastic Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
The present manuscript constitutes the lecture notes for the “Probability, Statistics and Stochastic Processes” module of the PhD program on Complexity Science, held at ISCTE-IUL during April and May 2012. The aim of the notes is to provide some auxiliary material for the students to follow this 10 hour length module, devoted to the study of the Probability theory and Stochastic Processes, as well as Statistics. A good working knowledge of calculus in several variables and linear algebra is desirable.

FUZZY INFORMATION AND STOCHASTICS
In applications there occur different forms of uncertainty. The twomost important types are randomness (stochastic variability) and imprecision(fuzziness). In modelling, the dominating concept to describe uncertainty isusing stochastic models which are based on probability. However, fuzzinessis not stochastic in nature and therefore it is not considered in probabilisticmodels.Since many years t...
متن کاملJoint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis
Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...
متن کاملConfidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملMedium Term Hydroelectric Production Planning - A Multistage Stochastic Optimization Model
Multistage stochastic programming is a key technology for making decisions over time in an uncertain environment. One of the promising areas in which this technology is implementable, is medium term planning of electricity production and trading where decision makers are typically faced with uncertain parameters (such as future demands and market prices) that can be described by stochastic proc...
متن کاملStochastic DEA with Using of Skew-Normal Distribution in Error Structure
The stochastic data envelopment analysis (SDEA) was developed considering the value ofinputs and outputs as random variables. Therefore, statistical distributions play an importantrole in this regard. The skew-normal (SN) distribution is a family of probability densityfunctions that is frequently used in practical situations. In this paper, we assume that the inputand output variables are skew-...
