        Condition Mathematics on the level of compulsory courses at ETF. Probability and Statistics on the level of one semester course (with possibility of taking a prerequisite test if does not have formal conditions fulfilled). Familiarity with Lebesgue integration and corresponding theory is desirable, but not obligatory.
        The goal Stochastic modelling is a wide area, not only by various applications in different fields, but also by richness of mathematics that it uses. The goal of this course is to enable a student for researsh in the topic of his/her dissertation.Hence,the ultimate purpose of this course is to make a student familiar with some of numerous models and to learn to use the tools of stochastic modelling.
        The outcome The student will be able to to read and understand scientific literature related to the relevant stochastic models, as well as to apply the acquired knowledge for model making and testing based on data.
