"Stochastic Processes and Their Applications" generally refers to both the theory and practical applications of stochastic processes, which are mathematical objects used to describe systems that evolve over time in a probabilistic manner. A stochastic process is a collection of random variables representing a process that evolves over time, where the next state of the process is influenced by its current state and possibly also by some random noise or other external factors.
