  Andrey Markov Summary
Markov involved himself in anti-Czarist, liberal politics and protested Czar Nicholas II (1868-1918) refusal to elect writer Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) to the St. Petersburg Academy in 1902.
Markov was born in Ryazan, Russia, on June 14, 1856.
Markov received his bachelor's degree in 1878 for a thesis on differential equations and continuing fractions, for which he was also awarded a gold medal.

  Markov's inequality
In probability theory, Markov's inequality gives an upper bound for the probability that a non-negative function of a random variable is greater than or equal to some positive constant.
Markov's inequality (and other similar inequalities) relate probabilities to expectations, and provide (frequently) loose but still useful bounds for the distribution function of a random variable.
Markov's inequality is actually just one of a wider class of inequalities relating probabilities and expectations, that are all examples of a single theorem.

 Markov biography
Andrei Andreyevich Markov's mother was Nadezhda Petrovna, who was the daughter of a state worker, and his father was Andrei Grigorievich Markov, the son of a country deacon.
Markov had known Maria Ivanova Valvatyeva since they were children for she was the daughter of the owner of the estate which his father was managing.
Markov is particularly remembered for his study of Markov chains, sequences of random variables in which the future variable is determined by the present variable but is independent of the way in which the present state arose from its predecessors.

The Markov property means that the conditional probability distribution of the state in the future, given the state of the process currently and in the past, depends only on its current state and not on its state in the past.
Markov chains are often described by a directed graph, where the edges are labeled by the probabilities of going from one state to the other states.
Markov chains are related to Brownian motion and the ergodic hypothesis, two topics in physics which were important in the early years of the twentieth century, but Markov appears to have pursued this out of a mathematical motivation, namely the extension of the law of large numbers to dependent events.

A hidden Markov model (HMM) is a statistical model in which the system being modeled is assumed to be a Markov process with unknown parameters, and the challenge is to determine the hidden parameters from the observable parameters.
Hidden Markov models are especially known for their application in temporal pattern recognition such as speech, handwriting, gesture recognition, musical score following and bioinformatics.
Hidden Markov Models were first described in a series of statistical papers by Leonard E. Baum and other authors in the second half of the 1960s.

In statistics, the Gauss—Markov theorem, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss and Andrey Markov, states that in a linear model in which the errors have expectation zero and are uncorrelated and have equal variances, the best linear unbiased estimators of the coefficients are the least-squares estimators.
Markov numbers are not always prime; but members of a Markov triple are always coprime.
In machine learning, the Markov blanket for a node A in a Bayesian network is the set of nodes MB(A) composed of A's parents, its children, and its children's parents.

 Markov Chains
A Markov chain, named in honor of Russian mathematician Andrei Markov, is a stochastic process.
Markov chain is said to be irreducible, if there is only one class, that is, all states
Markov chains also have many biological applications, particularly population processes, which are useful in modelling processes that are, at least, analogous to biological populations.

In mathematics, a (discrete-time) Markov chain is a discrete-time stochastic process with the Markov property named after Andrey Markov.
The range of these variables, i.e., the set of their possible values, is called the state space, the value of Xn being the state of the process at time n.
Markov chains are apparent in static physics and anything relevant to statistics.

In short, Markov chains are the "next thing" after memoryless processes (i.e., a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables).
Markov chain methods have also become very important for generating sequences of random numbers to accurately reflect very complicated desired probability distributions - a process called  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain_Monte_Carlo" \o "Markov chain Monte Carlo" Markov chain Monte Carlo or MCMC for short.
Markov chains also have many applications in biological modelling, particularly  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_process" \o "Population process" population processes, which are useful in modelling processes that are (at least) analogous to biological populations.

"GeneMark marks genes, which appeals to biologists; it is based on the Markov model, which mathematicians appreciate; and since my name is Mark, it is meaningful to me personally," says Borodovsky, smiling.
His next version, called GeneMark Genesis, became necessary when TIGR scientists wanted to sequence the genome of the bacterium Methanoccocus jannaschii, for which there were no experimentally studied segments available to train the Markov models.
The new program developed by Borodovsky and graduate student William Hayes "learned Markov models from anonymous sequences based on the grammar of the genetic code," Borodovsky explains.
