This book is a collective volume authored by leading scientists in the field of stochastic modelling, associated statistical topics and corresponding applications. The main classes of stochastic processes for dependent data investigated throughout this book are Markov, semi-Markov, autoregressive and piecewise deterministic Markov models. The material is divided into three parts corresponding to: (i) Markov and semi-Markov processes, (ii) autoregressive processes and (iii) techniques based on divergence measures and entropies. A special attention is payed to applications in reliability, survival analysis and related fields.

This collective book stems from a workshop that took place in Rouen, October 3–5, 2018, within the framework of the project Random Models and Statistical Tools, Informatics and Combinatorics (MOUSTIC – Modèles aléatoires et Outils Statistiques, Informatiques et Combinatoires), financed by the Region of Normandy and the European Regional Development Fund. The main idea was to bring together leading scientists working on probabilistic and statistical topics for dependent data, as well as on associated applications.
This is the way this book was written, with the intention to offer to the scientific community a part of the latest advances in the field of stochastic modeling for dependent data, authored by leading experts in the field. This is a crucial aspect in a time when we face an increasing need for more and more complex models capable of capturing the main features of increasingly complex applications. From a technical point of view, our book is important for gathering theoretical developments and applications related to Markov type models (semi-Markov processes, autoregressive processes, piecewise deterministic Markov processes, and variable length Markov chains) as well as probabilistic/statistical techniques issued from information theory, based on divergence measures and entropies.
This volume is divided into three parts: the first one examines Markov and semi-Markov processes, the second one deals with autoregressive processes and the last one presents divergence measures and entropies. Particular attention is given to applications of these methods in various fields such as finance, DNA analysis, quantum physics and survival analysis.
The workshop in Rouen and, consequently, the present book, would not have been possible without the support of the Laboratory of Mathematics Raphaël Salem, the Laboratory of Mathematics Nicolas Oresme, the University of Rouen Normandy, the Region of Normandy, the French Statistical Society-SFdS, the MAS group of the French Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics-SMAI, the Normandie-Mathématiques Research Federation and the Normastic Research Federation.
We would like to thank all the speakers of the workshop who contributed, although some of them indirectly, to the quality of the present volume. Our thanks go also to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable work: without their support, this volume could not have been successfully completed.
We would also like to thank Professor Nikolaos Limnios for proposing and encouraging us to elaborate this collective volume as well as the editorial staff of ISTE Ltd for their technical support.
