I've heard of Markov Chains, but I didn't understand them until I visited this site that explains them with simple interactive animations. Look at the illustration above. The gray circle can move ...

This example has a Markov-modulated Poisson process that serves to control the arrival process to a single-queue, single-server queueing model.

Topics include: the first and second moment methods, Chernoff bounds and large deviations, martingales, concentration inequalities, branching processes, percolation, and Markov chains. Examples will ...
