Construction of Equivalent Stochastic Differential Equation Models

Abstract It is shown how different but equivalent Itô stochastic differential equation models of random dynamical systems can be constructed. Advantages and disadvantages of the different models are described. Stochastic differential equation models are derived for problems in chemistry, textile engineering, and epidemiology. Computational comparisons are made between the different stochastic models.
