  2. 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.

  3. Hidden Markov model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Markov_model

    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]

  4. 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.

  5. Partially observable Markov decision process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_observable...

    A partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) is a generalization of a Markov decision process (MDP). A POMDP models an agent decision process in which it is assumed that the system dynamics are determined by an MDP, but the agent cannot directly observe the underlying state.

  6. Q-learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-learning

    Q-learning can identify an optimal action-selection policy for any given finite Markov decision process, given infinite exploration time and a partly random policy. [2] "Q" refers to the function that the algorithm computes: the expected reward—that is, the quality—of an action taken in a given state. [3]

  7. Markovian arrival process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovian_arrival_process

    In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Markovian arrival process (MAP or MArP [1]) is a mathematical model for the time between job arrivals to a system. The simplest such process is a Poisson process where the time between each arrival is exponentially distributed. [2] [3]

  8. Markov blanket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_blanket

    In a Bayesian network, the Markov boundary of node A includes its parents, children and the other parents of all of its children.. In statistics and machine learning, when one wants to infer a random variable with a set of variables, usually a subset is enough, and other variables are useless.

  9. Markov property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

    A process with this property is said to be Markov or Markovian and known as a Markov process. Two famous classes of Markov process are the Markov chain and Brownian motion. Note that there is a subtle, often overlooked and very important point that is often missed in the plain English statement of the definition. Namely that the statespace of ...
