Mathematical Statistics: Markov Processes

Gain a deeper understanding and learn to use mathematical models to analyze and solve problems in real-world systems. Expand your knowledge of Poisson processes, discrete Markov chains, and Markov processes. Learn to apply these models in areas such as telecommunications, production, reliability analysis, and financial mathematics. The course can be taken as an elective within a Bachelor’s program or as a standalone course.

The course consists of lectures, exercises, and laboratory sessions. The labs are mandatory and integrated with other teaching activities. Assessment is through a written exam at the end of the course and computer-based lab assignments during the course. To pass, you must complete both the exam and the lab assignments. The course provides a learning environment where you can deepen your understanding of mathematical models and their applications.
