For example, a series of simple observations, such as a person's location in a room, can be interpreted to determine more complex information, such as in what task or activity the person is performing. Two kinds of Hierarchical Markov Models are the Hierarchical hidden Markov model [2] and the Abstract Hidden Markov Model. [3]
The term Markov assumption is used to describe a model where the Markov property is assumed to hold, such as a hidden Markov model. A Markov random field extends this property to two or more dimensions or to random variables defined for an interconnected network of items. [1] An example of a model for such a field is the Ising model. A discrete ...
The main difference with a hidden Markov model is that neighborhood is not defined in 1 dimension but within a network, i.e. is allowed to have more than the two neighbors that it would have in a Markov chain. The model is formulated in such a way that given , are independent (conditional independence of the observable variables given the ...
A game of snakes and ladders or any other game whose moves are determined entirely by dice is a Markov chain, indeed, an absorbing Markov chain. This is in contrast to card games such as blackjack, where the cards represent a 'memory' of the past moves. To see the difference, consider the probability for a certain event in the game.
Figure 1. Probabilistic parameters of a hidden Markov model (example) X — states y — possible observations a — state transition probabilities b — output probabilities. In its discrete form, a hidden Markov process can be visualized as a generalization of the urn problem with replacement (where each item from the urn is returned to the original urn before the next step). [7]
D. G. Champernowne built a Markov chain model of the distribution of income in 1953. [86] Herbert A. Simon and co-author Charles Bonini used a Markov chain model to derive a stationary Yule distribution of firm sizes. [87] Louis Bachelier was the first to observe that stock prices followed a random walk. [88]
The process is Markovian only at the specified jump instants, justifying the name semi-Markov. [1] [2] [3] (See also: hidden semi-Markov model.) A semi-Markov process (defined in the above bullet point) in which all the holding times are exponentially distributed is called a continuous-time Markov chain. In other words, if the inter-arrival ...
