Empirical 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 کاملConvergence for periodic Markov chains
Consider a discrete-time Markov chain (Xn : n > 0) ∼ Markov(λ, P ) with countable state space S. In the last lecture, we proved the following theorem for aperiodic Markov chains. Theorem (Aperiodic case). Assume P is irreducible and positive recurrent with unique invariant measure π. If, in addition, P is aperiodic, then P(Xn = j)→ πj as n→∞ for all j ∈ S. In particular, p (n) ij → πj as n→∞ fo...
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.
