Welcome to the “Stochastic Processes” (CE-40695) course! This is a graduate level course that aims to provide a fundamental understanding of stochastic processes for computer science students.

- Note 5: Markov chains
- Note 6: Estimation theory
Sample Simulation Codes
Having access to computers and programming languages that can produce (though approximately) many random variables, it is a great opportunity that many aspects of stochastic processes can be show by writing simulation programs. In this page, I will gradually add more simulations that help students to have a better understanding of many stochastic processes concepts.
