This book discusses methods that are intended to quantify characteristics of various stochastic models associated with rare events. The first relies on a relationship between geometric sums and renewal theory while the second is based on probability metric theory. Examples illustrate the methods and show the details of the problems that can arise in applying them to real problems. This book should be of interest to researchers in applied probability.
