STAT491: Introduction to Stochastic Processes (2020)

This is a 10-week course focused on introducing basic concepts in stochastic processes. We start from a touch of the random walk through Bernoulli's gambling games, then take a tour of the discrete Markov chains, and end the course with an introduction to conditional probabilities, expectation, and martingales.
