On monotone Markov chains and properties of monotone matrix roots
Monotone matrices are stochastic matrices that satisfy the monotonicity conditions as introduced by Daley in 1968. Monotone Markov chains are useful in modeling phenomena in several areas.

Bayesian Inference for SIR Epidemic Model with dependent parameters
This paper is concerned with the Bayesian inference for the dependent parameters of stochastic SIR epidemic model in a closed population. The estimation framework involves the introduction of m − 1 latent data between every pair of observations. Kibble’s

Let G be a finite group. Let $H, K$ be subgroups of G and $H \backslash G / K$ the double coset space. If Q is a probability on G which is constant on conjugacy classes ( $Q(s^{-1} t s) = Q(t)$ ), then the random walk driven by Q on G ...

Matrix Analysis for Continuous-Time Markov Chains
Continuous-time Markov chains have transition matrices that vary continuously in time. Classical theory of nonnegative matrices, M-matrices and matrix exponentials is used in the literature to study their dynamics, probability distributions and other ...

Collapse and diffusion in harmonic activation and transport
For an n-element subset U of $\mathbb {Z}^2$ , select x from U according to harmonic measure from infinity, remove x from U and start a random walk from x. If the walk leaves from y when it first enters the rest of U, add y to it.

Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Abstract In the 1988 textbook Fractals Everywhere, Barnsley introduced an algorithm for generating fractals through a random procedure which he called the chaos game. Using ideas from the classical theory of covering times of Markov chains, we prove an asymptotic formula for the expected time taken by this procedure to generate a δ‐dense subset of a ...

Information geometry of Markov Kernels: a survey
Information geometry and Markov chains are two powerful tools used in modern fields such as finance, physics, computer science, and epidemiology. In this survey, we explore their intersection, focusing on the theoretical framework.

Asymptotics of the occupancy scheme in a random environment and its applications to tries [PDF]
Consider $ m $ copies of an irreducible, aperiodic Markov chain $ Y $ taking values in a finite state space. The asymptotics as $ m $ tends to infinity, of the first time from which on the trajectories of the $ m $ copies differ, have been studied by ...
