Set-Indexed Martingales offers a unique, comprehensive development of a general theory of Martingales indexed by a family of sets. The authors establish-for the first time-an appropriate framework that provides a suitable structure for a theory of Martingales with enough generality to include many interesting examples. Developed from first principles, the theory brings together the theories of... Read more

"…a small, elegant volume…This state-of-the-art monograph will be a valuable resource and stimulus for further work in the area."
-Short Book Reviews of the ISI
"I would recommend the book as an excellent introduction to set-indexed martingales. The foundations of the general theory are clearly presented and the reader is led to a point that is close to the current edge of research."
--Simon Harris, University of Bath
