A stochastic process is a random function, that is a random variable X defined on a probability space (Ω, Pr) with values in a space of functions F.
Stochastic processes may be defined in higher dimensions by attaching a multivariate random variable to each point in the index set, which is equivalent to using a multidimensional index set.

In modeling a stochastic process, we must first remove the time dependent behavior of the statistical metrics by partitioning the data or by some other means (see Section 2.2.5).

 Performance TOOLS'98: Tutorial 1
Stochastic Process Algebras (SPA) have emerged over the last decade as an exciting new approach to performance modelling.
Her research work is largely focussed on the stochastic process algebra, PEPA; in particular, investigating the ways in which the structure imposed by the process algebra can be exploited in the underlying stochastic model when it is solved to derive the performance characteristics.
This is now being extended to consider stochastic elements of such models, through the use of stochastic process algebras, such as PEPA.

Let the signal be further abstracted to a "grain-germ" stochastic process, where the germs are the locations of the grains (mines).
Statistical image processing yields an estimate of the signal; then inference on the resulting stochastic processes (including the underlying point process) consists of estimating and testing associated parameters that determine whether a minefield is present or not.

 Wilmott Forums - What is adaptedness of a stochastic process?
There are many different measures and process can be measurable (or not) with respect to, and many filtrations that a process can be adapted (or not) with respect to.
An example of a non-adapted, non-measurable process is a random walk in which the variance at time t is equal to the lowest integer b such that t = a/b.
the basic problem of stochastic calculus is that the measure is defined on the space of paths which are functions of time.
