Editorial Reviews
Review
....an excellent reference book for everyone who works in the field of applied probability theory. -- European Journal of Operational Research
This book is strongly recommended; it is an important and valuable addition to the literature. -- Short Book Reviews
This book is strongly recommended; it is an important and valuable addition to the literature. -- Short Book Reviews
This is a fine book ... The book belongs on every bookshelf of those interested in stochastic modeling. -- Stochastics and Stochastics Reports
Product Description
Hardbound. One of the central problems in operations research and management science is how to quantify the effects of uncertainty about the future. This, the second volume in a series of handbooks, is devoted to models where chance events play a major role. The thirteen chapters survey topics in applied probability that have been particularly useful in operations research and management science. Each chapter was written by an expert, both in subject matter and in its exposition.

This, the second volume in a series of handbooks, is devoted to models where chance events play a major role. The thirteen chapters survey topics in applied probability that have been particularly useful in operations research and management science. Each chapter was written by an expert, both in subject matter and in its exposition.
The chapters fall into four groups. The first four cover the fundamentals of stochastic processes, and lay the foundation for the following chapters. The next three chapters are concerned with methods of getting numbers. This includes numerical solution of models, parameter estimation for models, and simulation of models. Chapters 8 and 9 describe the fundamentals of dynamic optimization. The last four chapters are concerned with the most important structured models in operati
