  2. Markov property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

    The term strong Markov property is similar to the Markov property, except that the meaning of "present" is defined in terms of a random variable known as a stopping time. The term Markov assumption is used to describe a model where the Markov property is assumed to hold, such as a hidden Markov model .

  3. Markov model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_model

    The simplest Markov model is the Markov chain.It models the state of a system with a random variable that changes through time. In this context, the Markov property indicates that the distribution for this variable depends only on the distribution of a previous state.

  4. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    This is an equivalence relation which yields a set of communicating classes. A class is closed if the probability of leaving the class is zero. A Markov chain is irreducible if there is one communicating class, the state space. A state i has period k if k is the greatest common divisor of the number of transitions by which i can be reached ...

  5. Markov's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov's_principle

    Markov's principle (also known as the Leningrad principle [1]), named after Andrey Markov Jr, is a conditional existence statement for which there are many equivalent formulations, as discussed below. The principle is logically valid classically, but not in intuitionistic constructive mathematics. However, many particular instances of it are ...

  6. Markov random field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_random_field

    In the domain of physics and probability, a Markov random field (MRF), Markov network or undirected graphical model is a set of random variables having a Markov property described by an undirected graph. In other words, a random field is said to be a Markov random field if it satisfies Markov properties.

  7. Reflection principle (Wiener process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_principle...

    Then we can apply the strong Markov property to deduce that a relative path subsequent to , given by := (+), is also simple Brownian motion independent of . Then the probability distribution for the last time W ( s ) {\displaystyle W(s)} is at or above the threshold a {\displaystyle a} in the time interval [ 0 , t ] {\displaystyle [0,t]} can be ...

  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. Markov's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov's_inequality

    In probability theory, Markov's inequality gives an upper bound on the probability that a non-negative random variable is greater than or equal to some positive constant. Markov's inequality is tight in the sense that for each chosen positive constant, there exists a random variable such that the inequality is in fact an equality.
