# Stochastic Processes ### General Overview A stochastic process is a special type of probability model in which the sample points represent functions in time. It can often be viewed as a **sequence of [random variables](Random%20Variable.md)** (functions) evolving in time. Often there is a continuum of rv’s, one for each real valued instant of time. In a stochastic process the sample points are a whole sequence of rv’s in time. --- Date: 20220803 Links to: [Probability MOC](Probability%20MOC.md) Tags: #review References: * []()
