Beskrivning

Stochastic order relations prprovide a valuable insight into the behaviour of complex stochastic (random) systems and enable the user to collect meaningful comparative data. Application areas include queueing systems, actuarial and financial risk, decision making and stochastic simulation.* Applicable to a broad range of scientific disciplines, including economics, finance, insurance and operations research* Provides coverage of the latest research and applicationsAn essential resource for researchers and postgraduate students appliying stochastic order relations, and scientisits from applied statistics, operations research, economics and finance.
