After writing a series of papers on the foundations of probability and stochastic processes including martingales, markov processes, and stationary processes, doob realized that there was a real need for a book showing what is known about the various types of stochastic processes, so he wrote the book stochastic processes.
Unlike stochastic effects, nonstochastic effects are characterized by a threshold dose below which they do not occur. While even elementary definitions and theorems are stated in detail, this is not recommended as a first text in probability and there has been no compromise with.
