The standard matrix method for calculating higher transition probabilities in a Markov process is briefly reviewed in the introduction. This method is extended to path multiplicities. Then a new ...

At its core, a Markov chain is a model for predicting the next event in a sequence based only on its state. It possesses ...

A Markov-modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) is a Poisson process that has its parameter controlled by a Markov process. These arrival processes are typical in communications modeling where time-varying ...

If we can ‘talk’ to AI programs today, it’s in part because of a Russian from the 1800s. Markov’s approach to data in flux changed how we navigate our world. There’s an odd little trick to how AI ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider a new embedded Markov chain for the PH/G/1 queue by recording the queue length, the phase of the arrival process and the number of ...

A Markov chain is a mathematical concept of a sequence of events, in which each future event depends only on the state of the previous events. Like most mathematical concepts, it has wide-ranging ...
