Fokker-Planck Equation
A partial differential equation describing the time evolution of the probability density function of the velocity of a particle under the influence of drag forces and random forces.
Markov Chain
Used to model systems that transition from one state to another, where the next state only depends on the current state.
Poisson Process
Describes events occurring independently over time at a constant average rate, often used in queuing theory.
Random Walk
A sequential process where the next value is a random step from the current one, related to diffusion phenomena.
Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
Models mean-reverting behavior suitable for temperature variation or interest rates.
Gaussian Process
Used for probabilistic modeling in machine learning for making predictions about complex, non-linear systems.
Brownian Motion
Models random continuous movement, often used to simulate particle paths or stock market fluctuations.
Jump-Diffusion Process
Combines Gaussian diffusion with Poisson jumps, suitable for option pricing and financial modeling with discontinuities.
Wiener Process
A special case of Brownian motion, representing continuous-time random walks with Gaussian increments.
Levy Flight
A random walk with steps of varying sizes, often heavy-tailed, used to model foraging patterns and stock market movements.
