Past Exams


Syllabus: Discrete parameter martingales (without conditional expectation w.r.t. algebras), Branching processes, Markov models for epidemics, Queueing models.
Notes: (i) Measure theory to be avoided. Of course, use of DCT, MCT, Fubini, etc. overtly or covertly permitted. (ii) Relevant materials concerning Markov chains, including continuous time MCs, may be reviewed. If this course runs concurrently with Prob. III (where Markov chains are taught), some concepts/facts needed may be stated with proofs deferred to Prob. III. (iii) Genetic models may also be included, but then at least two topics from the above may have to deleted, as the background material from genetics may be formidable.
