This manual pertains to Dynamic Probabilistic Systems, Volume II: Semi-Markov and Decision Processes, authored by Ronald A. Howard and published by Dover Publications. This integrated work, presented in two volumes, focuses on the formulation, analysis, and evaluation of Markov models, with the second volume specifically addressing semi-Markov and decision processes. The text was originally published in 1971 and is available in ENG language.

The purpose of this manual is to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding advanced probabilistic systems. It covers the intricacies of semi-Markov processes and decision processes, offering detailed methodologies for their analysis and application. This volume serves as an essential guide for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of mathematics, particularly those specializing in probability and statistics, enabling a deeper comprehension of complex dynamic systems.
