چکیده
Abstract. The paper concerns with study aims at trying to predict the stock index trend of Prague stock exchange PX using Markov chain analysis (MCA). The prediction of the trend using MCA is done using time series of day closing prices from Jan.5, 2004, till Dec.12, 2009. Downloaded data are processed in order to provide current price rates and simple technical indicator, as well. Discrete state spaces are defined for four MCA models, and appropriate transition probability matrices are calculated. These objects represent a core of any MCA and its application. The results of the short-term trend prediction using MCA are reported for various investment strategies. Numerical calculations and computer implementations have been done by MS-Excel and Mathematica modules which are briefly discussed as well.

Study on Forecasting the Stock Market Trend Based on Stochastic Analysis Method
To counter strong features of disorder and randomness of stock market fluctuation in China, we introduce a Markov process model for the stock market trend forecasting, which is a useful complement for an existing technical analysis. Meanwhile, we expound on the related properties of Markov process and establish Markov chain mathematical model of the stock market trend forecasting, furthermore, ...

Land use maps are considered as the most important sources of information in natural resource management. The purpose of this research is to review, model, and predict landslide changes in the 30-year period by LCM model in Shiraz. In this research, TM Landsat 4, 5 and OLI Landsat 8 images were used for 1985, 2000 and 2015 respectively, as well as topographic maps and area coverage. Subsequent ...

There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...

Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...

In spite of the fact that the principles of impinging stream reactors have been developed for more than half a century, the performance analysis of such devices, from the viewpoint of the mathematical modeling, has not been investigated extensively. In this study two mathematical models were proposed to describe particulate matter drying in tangential impinging stream dryers. The models were de...
