Summary module description:
Aims:
This module develops the mathematical theory of stochastic processes in continuum time and their properties in a rigorous manner.
Assessable learning outcomes:
On completion of this module students will have acquired:
- Students will understand the concept of stochastic processes and in particular Brownian motion.
- Students will be able to evaluate and derive path properties, stochastic and asymptotic properties of processes.
Additional outcomes:
•To understand different classes of stochastic processes and their properties
•Interrelation between transformation, path properties and transformation of processes.
Brief description of teaching and learning methods:

Penalties for late submission:
Where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadine. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Penalties for late submission on this module are in accordance with the University policy. Please refer to page 5 of the Postgraduate Guide to Assessment for further information: http://www.reading.ac.uk/internal/exams/student/exa-guidePG.aspx
