Another year of MATH69122! — aka Stochastic Control.
This year, I will try to keep updating PDFs with slides and notes for each lecture. I’ll keep notes for the course in the “PDF” tab above. These are also here:
Here is a rough plan for each week of lectures:
Kalman filtering (and filtering in general) considers the following setting: we have a sequence of states , which evolves under random perturbations over time. Unfortunately we cannot observe
, we can only observe some noisy function of
, namely,
. Our task is to find the best estimate of
given our observations of
. Continue reading “Kalman Filter”
In loose terms, the mixing time is the amount of time to wait before you can expect a Markov chain to be close to its stationary distribution. We give an upper bound for this.
We consider a continuous time analogue of Markov Decision Processes.

I’ll upload individual posts for each section. I’ll likely update these notes and add more exercises over the coming semester. I’ll add this update in a further post at the end of the course. Comments, typos, suggestions are always welcome.
Here is a quick request for comments for Probability 1 students. Here are two answers saying that the probability that a grandfather, father and son are all born on the same day.

The first answer is sort of wrong because it assumes you specify in advance date of birth. The second answer is right because we assume in advance we are given three generations and we assume we deal with a first born son.
Please leave comments below and will forward them on to BBC.
