Abstract:
|
In this poster, we present educational tools available for students learning stochastic processes. These include tutorial videos to create a context for learning, an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit called StochasticWiki, and some calculators for performing web-based frequently used calculations. These educational materials available extend from using inference in building a probabilistic model to optimizing a process with such. The material may be found at www.stochasticchallenge.org or follow us on facebook at www.facebook.com/stochasticchallenge.
