Semi-Markov chains and hidden semi-Markov models toward applications : their use in reliability and DNA analysis

Semi-Markov chains and hidden semi-Markov models toward applications : their use in reliability and DNA analysis / Vlad Stefan Barbu and Nikolaos Limnios.

Semi-Markov processes are much more general and better adapted to applications than the Markov ones because sojourn times in any state can be arbitrarily distributed, as opposed to the geometrically distributed sojourn time in the Markov case. This book concerns with the estimation of discrete-time...

Description
Summary:Semi-Markov processes are much more general and better adapted to applications than the Markov ones because sojourn times in any state can be arbitrarily distributed, as opposed to the geometrically distributed sojourn time in the Markov case. This book concerns with the estimation of discrete-time semi-Markov and hidden semi-Markov processes.
