Generating functions and Laplace transforms,efore, we must start with the distribution function .(.). However, it is often true that working with some transformation of .(.) is much easier than working with .(.) itself. In this appendix, we discuss two important transformations, generating functions and Laplace transforms, the former being pa

Generating functions and Laplace transforms,working with .(.) itself. In this appendix, we discuss two important transformations, generating functions and Laplace transforms, the former being particularly useful for discrete random variables and the latter for nonnegative, absolutely continuous random variables.

Monotone Markov chains,., we have .. ? .. for all .. Monotonicity properties are important both theoretically and practically because they lead to a variety of structural insights. In particular, they are a basic tool for deriving many useful inequalities in Markov chains for stochastic modeling.

Book 1997ry distributions have no meaning. Or, even when the stationary distribution is of some importance, it is often dangerous to use the stationary result alone without knowing the transient behavior of the Markov chain. Not many books have paid much attention to this topic, despite its obvious importanc
