چکیده
We study the generation of uniformly distributed linear extensions using Markov chains. In particular we show that monotone coupling from the past can be applied in the case of linear extensions of two-dimensional orders. For width two orders a mixing rate of O(n 3 log n) is proved. We conjecture that this is the mixing rate in the general case and support the conjecture by empirical data. On the course we obtain several nice structural results concerning Bruhat order and weak Bruhat order of permutations.

Evaluation of First and Second Markov Chains Sensitivity and Specificity as Statistical Approach for Prediction of Sequences of Genes in Virus Double Strand DNA Genomes
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,...
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 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 کاملStationary Markov chains with linear regressions
In Bryc(1998) we determined one dimensional distributions of a stationary field with linear regressions (1) and quadratic conditional variances (2) under a linear constraint (7) on the coefficients of the quadratic expression (3). In this paper we show that for stationary Markov chains with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances the coefficients of the quadratic expression are i...
متن کاملThe Mixing of Markov Chains on Linear Extensions in Practice
We investigate almost uniform sampling from the set of linear extensions of a given partial order. The most efficient schemes stem from Markov chains whose mixing time bounds are polynomial, yet impractically large. We show that, on instances one encounters in practice, the actual mixing times can be much smaller than the worst-case bounds, and particularly so for a novel Markov chain we put fo...
