Stochastic Modeling and the Theory of Queues

By Prof. Krishna Jagannathan | IIT Madras

Learners enrolled: 387

This is a PG level course on discrete stochastic processes and queuing, aimed at students working in areas such as communication networks, operations research, and machine learning. It covers Poisson processes, renewal processes, renewal reward theory, queuing models and analyses, Markov chains in discrete as well as continuous time (countable state-space only). A graduate level probability background will be assumed.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : This is a PG/PhD level course on discrete stochastic processes, which will also cover queuing examples and applications.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
