Multinomial Logistic Regression on Markov Chains for Crop Rotation Modelling
Often, in dynamical systems, such as farmer’s crop choices, the dynamics is driven by external nonstationary factors, such as rainfall, temperature, and economy. Such dynamics can be modelled by a nonstationary Markov chain, where the transition probabilities are logistic functions of such external factors. We investigate the problem of estimating the parameters of the logistic model from data,...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملTaylor Expansion for the Entropy Rate of Hidden Markov Chains
We study the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process, defined by observing the output of a symmetric channel whose input is a first order Markov process. Although this definition is very simple, obtaining the exact amount of entropy rate in calculation is an open problem. We introduce some probability matrices based on Markov chain's and channel's parameters. Then, we try to obtain an estimate ...
متن کاملThe Rate of Rényi Entropy for Irreducible Markov Chains
In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.
متن کاملExtracting Patterns in Music for Composition via Markov Chains
The purpose of this report is provide a critical reading of Verbeugt, Dinolfo and Fayer (2004) paper, Extracting Patterns in Music for Composition via Markov Chains, as well as to study the results of Bühlmann and Wyner (1999) Variable Length Markov Chains as an alternate estimation method. Simulations and an application to J. S. Bach’s Two-Part Invention #13 in A minor, BWV784, are provided as...
