  1. Aperiodicity of a Markov chain - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 1, 2023 · For two states $x,y$ in $E$, let $p^n (x,y)$ denote the $n$ -step Markov chain transition probability from $x$ to $y$. Then the period of a point $x$ is the greatest common divisor of all …

  2. reference request - What are some modern books on Markov Chains …

    I would like to know what books people currently like in Markov Chains (with syllabus comprising discrete MC, stationary distributions, etc.), that contain many good exercises. Some such book on

  3. What is the difference between all types of Markov Chains?

    Apr 25, 2017 · A Markov process is basically a stochastic process in which the past history of the process is irrelevant if you know the current system state. In other words, all information about the …

  4. what is the difference between a markov chain and a random walk?

    Jun 17, 2022 · Then it's a Markov Chain . If you use another definition : From the first line of each random walk and Markov Chain , I think a Markov chain models a type of random walk , but it doesn't …

  5. Proof of the Markov Property - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 8, 2023 · Proof of the Markov Property Ask Question Asked 2 years, 11 months ago Modified 2 years, 10 months ago

  6. Definition of Markov operator - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Mar 26, 2021 · Is this a type of Markov operator? (The infinitesimal generator is also an operator on measurable functions). What's the equivalence between these two definitions and what's the intuition …

  7. Newest 'markov-chains' Questions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 29, 2025 · Stochastic processes (with either discrete or continuous time dependence) on a discrete (finite or countably infinite) state space in which the distribution of the next state depends only on the …

  8. Prove that if $X\to Y\to Z$ is a Markov chain, then $I (X;Z)\le I (X;Y)$

    Almost, but you need "greater than or equal to." We have: $$ H (X|Y) = H (X|Y,Z) \leq H (X|Z) $$ where the first equality is from the Markov structure and the final inequality is because conditioning reduces …

  9. stochastic processes - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 30, 2023 · A Gauss-Markov process is a random process that is both a Gaussian process and a Markov process. What is the difference between them? Are there Gauss-Markov processes that are …

  10. Generalisation of the Markov property to stopping times

    Aug 1, 2023 · So apparently it is a different way of generalising the weak Markov property. Broadly speaking, I would like to know whether this property ($\star$) has a name and under what conditions …
