Here is a somewhat condensed table of contents: Chapter 1, Second order models on \(Z^ d\) [Spectral representations; various notions of regularity; ARMA and Markovian CAR models; identification of rational spectra; nonstationary models; multidimensional Gaussian Markov fields; mixing for linear fields]. Chapter 2, Gibbs fields and Markov fields [Gibbs fields; Markov fields and associated Gibbs potentials; Gaussian specifications; Gibbs models in image analysis]. Chapter 3, Limit theorems and parametric estimation for random fields [The ergodic theorem; strong law and convergence in mean square; central limit theorems; quasi-likelihood estimation; a.s. model identification for weakly dependent fields]. Chapter 4, Estimation for second order models [Empirical estimators and data tapering; quasi-likelihood Gaussian estimation; the Markovian Gaussian case; intrinsic models; nonparametric estimation of the spectrum]. Chapter 5, Estimation for Gibbs fields [Description of some methods; consistency; asymptotic laws and tests; the case of partial observation]. Chapter 6, Stochastic algorithms [Dynamics of a nonhomogeneous Markov chain; simulation algorithms, Gibbs sampler and Metropolis dynamic; simulated annealing; sampling and optimization under constraints; birth and death process dynamics; Gibbs sampler in the Gaussian case; stochastic algorithms for Gibbs models estimation; stochastic algorithms in image analysis]. There are exercises for each chapter. The level of preparation suggested is that of students in the third cycle of applied mathematics.
