Economics 520 Lecture Note 9: Introduction to Stochastic Processes This Version: October 5‚ 2013 These notes are based on S. Ross‚ Introduction to Probability Models‚ Academic Press‚ and J. Hamilton‚ Time Series Analysis‚ Princeton University Press. Definition 1 A stochastic process {X (t )‚ t ∈ T } is a collection of random variables: for each t ∈ T ‚ X (t ) is a random variable. The set T is called an index set‚ and t ∈ T is often interpreted as time. So X (t ) would be the (random) state

The Management Of Theory Jungle It was Harold Koontz who introduced the concept of Management Theory Jungle. ’Management Theory Jungle’ was made in an environment where the development of management theory had escalated over a period of two decades. This has resulted to confusion and conflict which many theories have entangled in it. As such‚ it is seen as a jungle. Koontz defined the management theory jungle by identifying and classifying major management theory. Six schools of thoughts were
