List of stochastic processes topics

In the mathematics of probability, a stochastic process is a random function. In practical applications, the domain over which the function is defined is a time interval (time series) or a region of space (random field).

Familiar examples of time series include stock market and exchange rate fluctuations, signals such as speech, audio and video; medical data such as a patient's EKG, EEG, blood pressure or temperature; and random movement such as Brownian motion or random walks.

Examples of random fields include static images, random topographies (landscapes), or composition variations of an inhomogeneous material.

Basic affine jump diffusion
Bernoulli process: discrete-time processes with two possible states.
- Bernoulli schemes: discrete-time processes with N possible states; every stationary process in N outcomes is a Bernoulli scheme, and vice versa.
Bessel process
Birth–death process
Branching process
Branching random walk
Brownian bridge
Brownian motion
Chinese restaurant process
CIR process
Continuous stochastic process
Cox process
Dirichlet processes
Finite-dimensional distribution
First passage time
Galton–Watson process
Gamma process
Gaussian process – a process where all linear combinations of coordinates are normally distributed random variables.
- Gauss–Markov process (cf. below)
GenI process
Girsanov's theorem
Hawkes process
Homogeneous processes: processes where the domain has some symmetry and the finite-dimensional probability distributions also have that symmetry. Special cases include stationary processes, also called time-homogeneous.

Lévy process
Local time (mathematics)
Loop-erased random walk
Markov processes are those in which the future is conditionally independent of the past given the present.
- Markov chain
- Markov chain central limit theorem
- Continuous-time Markov process

Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process
Percolation theory
Point processes: random arrangements of points in a space $S$ . They can be modelled as stochastic processes where the domain is a sufficiently large family of subsets of S, ordered by inclusion; the range is the set of natural numbers; and, if A is a subset of B, ƒ(A) ≤ ƒ(B) with probability 1.
