Pattern statistics on Markov chains and sensitivity to parameter estimation
Background: In order to compute pattern statistics in computational biology a Markov model is commonly used to take into account the sequence composition. Usually its parameter mu...

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

Estimating the size of the telephone universe: a Bayesian Mark-recapture approach
Mark-recapture models have for many years been used to estimate the unknown sizes of animal and bird populations. In this article we adapt a finite mixture mark-recapture model i...

A Two-state Markov Chain Model of Degraded Document Images
We propose a two-state Markov chain model of degraded document images. The model generates random and burst noise to simulate isolated pixel reversal as well as blurring of a larg...

A Markov chain sequence generator for power macromodeling
In macromodeling-based power estimation, circuit macromodels are created from simulations of synthetic input vector sequences. Fast generation of these sequences with all possible...
