printmd('*A random walk is one in which future steps or directions cannot be predicted \
on the basis of past history. The human mind sees patterns everywhere and we must be \
vigilant that we are not fooling ourselves and wasting time by developing elaborate \
models for random walk processes. (Jason Brownlee 2018)*')
