This text presents selected applications of discrete-time stochastic processes that involve random interactions and algorithms, and revolve around the Markov property. It covers recurrence properties of (excited) random walks, convergence and mixing of Markov chains, distribution modeling using phase-type distributions, applications to search engines and probabilistic automata, and an introduction to the Ising model used in statistical physics. Applications to data science are also considered via hidden Markov models and Markov decision processes. A total of 32 exercises and 17 longer problems are provided with detailed solutions and cover various topics of interest, including statistical learning.

The book is intended primarily for students preparing to engage in machine learning and data science. . . . The book contains many exercises of varying difficulty. It provides and discusses in detail many useful facts about finite Markov chains and studies many well-known models and methods from an applied point of view. The book will be very useful in preparing for machine learning and data science. (Alexander I. Zejfman, zbMATH 1571. 60001, 2026)
