Focusing on discrete and continuous time Markov chains and continuous time and state Markov processes, this text presents the basic theory of stochastic processes necessary to understand and apply stochastic methods to biological problems. This edition contains a new chapter on stochastic differential equations that extends basic theory to multi

This monograph provides a summary of the basic theory of branching processes for single-type and multi-type processes. The first chapter develops the branching process theory, while in the second chapter two applications to population and epidemic processes of single-type branching process theory are explored.

Delineates stochastic processes, emphasizing applications in biology. This book is organized according to the three types of stochastic processes: discrete time Markov chains, continuous time Markov chains and continuous time and state Markov processes. It contains a chapter on the biological applications of stochastic differential equations.
