  2. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    If the Markov chain is time-homogeneous, then the transition matrix P is the same after each step, so the k-step transition probability can be computed as the k-th power of the transition matrix, P k. If the Markov chain is irreducible and aperiodic, then there is a unique stationary distribution π. [41]

  3. Markovian arrival process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovian_arrival_process

    A Markov arrival process is defined by two matrices, D 0 and D 1 where elements of D 0 represent hidden transitions and elements of D 1 observable transitions. The block matrix Q below is a transition rate matrix for a continuous-time Markov chain .

  4. Transition-rate matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition-rate_matrix

    In probability theory, a transition-rate matrix (also known as a Q-matrix, [1] intensity matrix, [2] or infinitesimal generator matrix [3]) is an array of numbers describing the instantaneous rate at which a continuous-time Markov chain transitions between states.

  5. Stochastic matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_matrix

    [1] [2]: 10 It is also called a probability matrix, transition matrix, substitution matrix, or Markov matrix. The stochastic matrix was first developed by Andrey Markov at the beginning of the 20th century, and has found use throughout a wide variety of scientific fields, including probability theory , statistics, mathematical finance and ...

  6. Models of DNA evolution - Wikipedia

    As a result, it has a unique stationary distribution = {,}, where corresponds to the proportion of time spent in state after the Markov chain has run for an infinite amount of time. In DNA evolution, under the assumption of a common process for each site, the stationary frequencies π A , π G , π C , π T {\displaystyle \pi _{A},\,\pi _{G ...

  7. Balance equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_equation

    For a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) with transition rate matrix, if can be found such that for every pair of states and π i q i j = π j q j i {\displaystyle \pi _{i}q_{ij}=\pi _{j}q_{ji}} holds, then by summing over j {\displaystyle j} , the global balance equations are satisfied and π {\displaystyle \pi } is the stationary ...

  8. Continuous-time Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-time_Markov_chain

    This Markov chain is irreducible, because the ghosts can fly from every state to every state in a finite amount of time. Due to the secret passageway, the Markov chain is also aperiodic, because the ghosts can move from any state to any state both in an even and in an uneven number of state transitions.

  9. Markov model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_model

    A Markov decision process is a Markov chain in which state transitions depend on the current state and an action vector that is applied to the system. Typically, a Markov decision process is used to compute a policy of actions that will maximize some utility with respect to expected rewards.
