Description
Shui Feng is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University, Canada. His research is in the broad area of stochastic processes and limit theorems, with particular interests in stochastic models in population genetics, finance, and statistical physics. He is the co-editor of one book and the author of more than 30 research papers.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"The intended audience of this book includes researchers and graduate students in probability, population genetics and statistics. Most material in the book is self-contained and should be accessible to anyone with a graduate level knowledge of probability theory. . this book provides useful connections to mathematical population genetics and many advanced probabilistic applications."
