Polynomials Associated with Finite Markov Chains [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Given a finite Markov chain, we investigate the first minors of the transition matrix of a lifting of this Markov chain to covering trees. In a simple case we exhibit a nice factorisation of these minors, and we conjecture that it holds more generally.

Aggregation of Markov chains

open access: yesStochastic Processes and their Applications, 1993
AbstractFor a collection of Markov chains the aggregated process, that is a process for which the transition rates are a mixture of the transition rates of the Markov chains in the collection, is introduced. A sufficient condition is given, called cross-balance, a generalization of global balance to a collection of processes, under which the ...

Comparing Risks for Binomial Reliability Assurance Test Planning

open access: yesApplied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing consumer's and producer's risk is an important consideration when planning tests. Instead of focusing on finding a single best test plan, we introduce a general framework to systematically identify a set of binomial test plans by leveraging the inverse relationship between the two risks.

Markov Chain of Conditional Order: Properties and Statistical Analysis

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2014
The paper deals with finite Markov chain of conditional order, that is a special case of high-order Markov chain with a small number of parameters. Statistical estimators for parameters and statistical tests for parametric hypotheses are constructed and ...

PREDICTIVE GREY MARKOV CHAIN MODEL FOR PITTING CORROSION IN PIPLINES

open access: yesJixie qiangdu, 2016
Based on the Grey theory and Markov Chain theory,two prediction models were built,they are Grey Markov Chain prediction model based on absolute distribution( GMCAD) and Grey Markov Chain prediction model based on probability summation( GMCPS).

The Generalized Entropy Ergodic Theorem for Nonhomogeneous Markov Chains [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Let $(\xi_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ be a nonhomogeneous Markov chain taking values from finite state-space of $\mathbf{X}=\{1,2,\ldots,b\}$. In this paper, we will study the generalized entropy ergodic theorem with almost-everywhere and $\mathcal{L}_1$ convergence for nonhomogeneous Markov chains, which generalizes the corresponding classical results for the ...

Ergodicity of Fuzzy Markov Chains Based on Simulation Using Sequences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
As shown in [1], we reduce periodicity of fuzzy Markov chains using the Halton quasi-random generator. In this paper, we employ two different quasi-random sequences namely Faure and Kronecker to generate the membership values of fuzzy Markov chain. Using simulation it is revealed that the number of ergodic fuzzy Markov chain simulated by Kronecker ...
