  2. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    A Markov chain is a type of Markov process that has either a discrete state space or a discrete index set (often representing time), but the precise definition of a Markov chain varies. [6]

  3. Examples of Markov chains - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_Markov_chains

    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.

  4. Markov model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_model

    A Tolerant Markov model (TMM) is a probabilistic-algorithmic Markov chain model. [6] It assigns the probabilities according to a conditioning context that considers the last symbol, from the sequence to occur, as the most probable instead of the true occurring symbol.

  5. Markov chains on a measurable state space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chains_on_a...

    In 1953 the term Markov chain was used for stochastic processes with discrete or continuous index set, living on a countable or finite state space, see Doob. [1] or Chung. [2] Since the late 20th century it became more popular to consider a Markov chain as a stochastic process with discrete index set, living on a measurable state space. [3] [4] [5]

  6. Markov property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

    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.

  7. Markov decision process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_decision_process

    The "Markov" in "Markov decision process" refers to the underlying structure of state transitions that still follow the Markov property. The process is called a "decision process" because it involves making decisions that influence these state transitions, extending the concept of a Markov chain into the realm of decision-making under uncertainty.

  8. Discrete-time Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-time_Markov_chain

    A Markov chain with two states, A and E. In probability, a discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) is a sequence of random variables, known as a stochastic process, in which the value of the next variable depends only on the value of the current variable, and not any variables in the past.

  9. 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 .
