stochastic process


Let (Ω,,𝐏) be a probability spaceMathworldPlanetmath. Astochastic processMathworldPlanetmath is a collectionMathworldPlanetmath

{XttT}

of random variablesMathworldPlanetmath Xt defined on(Ω,,𝐏), where T is a set, called theindex setMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of the process {XttT}. T isusually (but not always) a subset of .X is sometimes known as a random function.

Given any t, the possible values of Xt are called thestates of the process at t. The set of all states (for allt) of a stochastic process is called its state space.

If T is discrete, then the stochastic process is adiscrete-time process. If T is an interval of ,then {XttT} is a continuous-timeprocess. If T can be linearly orderedPlanetmathPlanetmath, then t is also known asthe time.

A stochastic process X with state space S can be thought of in either of following three ways.

  • As a collection of random variables, Xt, for each t in the index set T.

  • As a function in two variables tT and ωΩ,

    X:T×ΩS,(t,ω)Xt(ω).

    The process is said to be measurable, or, jointly measurable if it is (T)/(S)-measurable. Here, (T) and (S) are the Borel σ-algebras on T and S respectively.

  • In terms of the sample paths. Each ωΩ maps to a function

    TS,tXt(ω).

    Many common examples of stochastic processes have sample paths which are either continuous or cadlag.

Examples. The following list is some of the most common andimportant stochastic processes:

  1. 1.

    a random walkMathworldPlanetmath, as well as its limiting case, a Brownian motionMathworldPlanetmath, or a Wiener process

  2. 2.

    Poisson process

  3. 3.

    Markov process; a Markov chainMathworldPlanetmath is a Markov process whose state space is discrete

  4. 4.

    renewal process

Remarks.

  • Sometimes, a stochastic process is also called arandom process, although a stochastic process is generallylinked to any “time” dependent process. In a random process, theindex set may not be linearly ordered, as in the case of a randomfield, where the index set may be, for example, the unit sphere S23.

  • In statisticsMathworldMathworld, a stochastic process is often known as atime series, where the index set is a finite (or at mostcountableMathworldPlanetmath) ordered sequence of real numbers.
