Comparisons of Stochastic Matrices with Applications in Information Theory, Statistics, Economics and Population Sciences

The focus of this monograph is on generalizing the notion of variation in a set of numbers to variation in a set of probability distributions.  The authors collect some known ways of comparing stochastic matrices in the context of information theory, statistics, economics, and population sciences.
