Quasi-likelihood regression models for Markov chains
We consider regression models in which covariates and responses jointly form a higher order Markov chain. A quasi-likelihood model speciies parametric models for the conditional means and variances of the responses given the past observations. A simple estimator for the parameter is the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator. We show that it does not use the information in the model for the conditi...
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 کاملExchangeable Markov Processes on Graphs: Feller Case
The transition law of every exchangeable Feller process on the space of countable graphs is determined by a σ-finite measure on the space of {0, 1} × {0, 1}-valued arrays. In discrete-time, this characterization amounts to a construction from an independent, identically distributed sequence of exchangeable random functions. In continuous-time, the behavior is enriched by a Lévy–Itô-type decompo...
متن کاملA Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulation Method for Markov Chains
We introduce and study a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method for estimating the state distribution at each step of a Markov chain. The number of steps in the chain can be random and unbounded. The method simulates n copies of the chain in parallel, using a (d + 1)-dimensional highly-uniform point set of cardinality n, randomized independently at each step, where d is the number of uniform rando...
متن کاملNew Methods for Determining Quasi-Stationary Distributions for Markov Chains
we shall be concerned with the problem of determining quasi-stationary distributions for Markovian models directly from their transition rates Q. We shall present simple conditions for a p-invariant measure m for Q to be p-invariant for the transition function, so that if m is finite, it can be normalized to produce a quasi-stationary distribution. @ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
