Stochastic-Process Limits An Introduction to Stochastic-Process Limits and Their Application to Queues

Stochastic-Process Limits An Introduction to Stochastic-Process Limits and Their Application to Queues / by Ward Whitt.

Stochastic Process Limits are useful and interesting because they generate simple approximations for complicated stochastic processes and also help explain the statistical regularity associated with a macroscopic view of uncertainty. This book emphasizes the continuous-mapping approach to obtain new...
