We consider a class of Markov chains known for its closed form transient and steady-state distributions. We show that some absorbing chains can be also seen as members of this clas...
We present exchange formulas that allow to express the stationary distribution of a continuous Markov chain with denumerable state-space having generator matrix Q∗ through a con...
In this paper the concept of later waiting time distributions for patterns in multi-state trials is generalized to cover a collection of compound patterns that must all be counted...
Markov chain Monte Carlo has been the standard technique for inferring the posterior distribution of genome rearrangement scenarios under a Bayesian approach. We present here a neg...
For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...
