Applications and the study of phenomena have in turn inspired the proposal of new stochastic processes. Examples of such stochastic processes include the Wiener process or Brownian motion process, [a] used by Louis Bachelier to study price changes on the Paris Bourse, [21] and the Poisson process, used by A. K. Erlang to study the number of ...
Manufacturing processes are assumed to be stochastic processes. This assumption is largely valid for either continuous or batch manufacturing processes. Testing and monitoring of the process is recorded using a process control chart which plots a given process control parameter over time. Typically a dozen or many more parameters will be ...

[35] [36] Two important examples of Markov processes are the Wiener process, also known as the Brownian motion process, and the Poisson process, [19] which are considered the most important and central stochastic processes in the theory of stochastic processes.
For example, if the constant, c, equals 1, the probabilities of a move to the left at positions x = −2,−1,0,1,2 are given by ,,,, respectively. The random walk has a centering effect that weakens as c increases.
In probability theory, a stable process is a type of stochastic process. It includes stochastic processes whose associated probability distributions are stable distributions. [1] Examples of stable processes include the Wiener process, or Brownian motion, whose associated probability distribution is the normal distribution.
An example of a stochastic process which is not a Markov chain is the model of a machine which has states A and E and moves to A from either state with 50% chance if it has ever visited A before, and 20% chance if it has never visited A before (leaving a 50% or 80% chance that the machine moves to E).
In finance, the Heston model, named after Steven L. Heston, is a mathematical model that describes the evolution of the volatility of an underlying asset. [1] It is a stochastic volatility model: such a model assumes that the volatility of the asset is not constant, nor even deterministic, but follows a random process.
