In probability theory and related fields, a stochastic or random process is a mathematical object usually defined as a family of random variables. Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of systems and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner.
What is meant by stochastic process?
A stochastic process means that one has a system for which there are observations at certain times, and that the outcome, that is, the observed value at each time is a random variable.
What are all the types of stochastic process?
Some basic types of stochastic processes include Markov processes, Poisson processes (such as radioactive decay), and time series, with the index variable referring to time. This indexing can be either discrete or continuous, the interest being in the nature of changes of the variables with respect to time.
