چکیده
Using the reference probability method, a recursive equation is obtained for the unnormalized joint conditional density of a noisily observed Markov chain, and parameters which determine the transition densities and coefficients in the observations.

Recursive filters for partially observable finite Markov chains
In this note, we consider discrete-time finite Markov Chains and assume that they are only partly observed. We obtain finite-dimensional normalized filters for basic statistics associated with such processes. Recursive equations for these filters are derived by means of simple computations involving conditional expectations. An application to the estimation of parameters for the so-called discr...
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 کاملEvaluation 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 کاملBivariate Markov Processes and Their Estimation
A bivariate Markov process comprises a pair of random processes which are jointly Markov. One of the two processes in that pair is observable while the other plays the role of an underlying process. We are interested in three classes of bivariate Markov processes. In the first and major class of interest, the underlying and observable processes are continuous-time with finite alphabet; in the s...
متن کاملRecursive Smoothers for Hidden Discrete-time Markov Chains
Hidden Markov chains have been the subject of extensive studies, see the books [1, 2] and the references therein. Of particular interest are the discret-time, finite-state hidden Markov models. In this paper, using the same techniques as in [3], we propose results that improve the finite-dimensional smoothers of functionals of a partially observed discrete-time Markov chain. The model itself ex...
