Praise for the second edition: ... a clear, easily understandable and rather short overview on stochastic processes. The different topics are motivated very well, there are many graphs and 50-theoretical and practical-examples. ... the book is written very carefully ... for beginners, one could not imagine a better book. -Dominik Wied, Statistical Papers (2011) 52 ... a good resource as a textbook or as a reference to complement other literature, especially with the examples and problems provided. -Biometrics, 67, September 2011
