Summary:
An excellent introduction for electrical, electronics engineers and computer scientists who would like to have a good, basic understanding of the stochastic processes! This clearly written book responds to the increasing interest in the study of systems that vary in time in a random manner. It presents an introductory account of some of the important topics in the theory of the mathematical models of such systems. The selected topics are conceptually interesting and have fruitful application in various branches of science and technology.

good introduction for a graduate level course
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
Hoel, Port and Stone put together a three volume series on probability, statistics and stochastic processes. In 1975 I took the first year graduate course in stochastic processes and my Professor at Stanford Yash Mittal elected this text for the course out of a number of possibilities. This book was particularly good for an introduction to Markov chains, the backbone to stochastic processes. I learned a lot from it and found it easy to use as a text. I then bought the other to books to complete the trilogy. At the time Hoel and Port were at UCLA and I believe Stone was already at Berkeley.
This is an excellent text for a graduate course that stands the test of time. If it has been revised, I am not familiar with the new edition and any possible changes that may have occurred.

Good book

I used this book for my Stochastic class. In my opinion, this is a good book to start.

mediocre
 Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
I found this book to be terse and unfriendly. I used this text for my introduction to markov chains class and did not get much out of it. If ur looking for a review of markov chain theory then U should consider this book. If ur looking for clear in-depth explanations and problems that are relevant to the chapters material look somewhere else.

I learned stochastic processes from this book

Great Books in a row

This is the last volume of a series of three excellent texts by Hoel/Port/Stone on probability, statistics and stochastic processes. The way they write should be the standard for all of other authors. Concise, clear and intuitive. Lots of worked examples and exercises with answers help readers go through those topics. If you are lack of knowledge in probability and want to know stochastic processes or even financial mathematics. These three books can be your short cut.
