  Markov property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In probability theory, a stochastic process has the Markov property if the conditional probability distribution of future states of the process, given the present state and all past states, depends only upon the current state and not on any past states, i.e.
A process with the Markov property is usually called a Markov process, and may be described as Markovian.
The most famous Markov processes are Markov chains, but many other processes, including Brownian motion, are Markovian.

In philosophy, mathematics, and logic, a property is an attribute of an object; thus a red object is said to have the property of redness.
Properties are therefore subject to the Russell's paradox/Grelling-Nelson paradox.
It differs from the logical concept of class by not having any concept of extensionality, and from the philosophical concept of class in that a property is considered to be distinct from the objects which possess it.

Markov graduated from St. Petersburg University in 1878, and at the age of 30, he became a professor of the same university and a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.
Markov’s work in this area was mainly motivated by his efforts to extend the laws of large numbers and central limit theorem to dependent sequences, which was believed to be an impossible goal the time.
It is fitting that these mathematical objects bear Markov’s name, acknowledging his trailblazing role in the development of processes that exhibit the Markov property.

Because data may merely approach a Markov process, a quantitative assessment of the closeness of that approach was devised from the concept of uncertainty (entropy) developed by Claude Shannon in his mathematical theory of communication.
A common way to illustrate Markov chain dependencies is to construct a "box and arrow" diagram, where the boxes represent the kinds of events and the arrows represent first-order transitions from one event to the next.
Markov chains cannot handle this problem logically, but the user can focus upon switches in behavior to code a succession of events that will usually reveal important aspects of how one animal's behavior is influencing that of the other.

 Introduction
Markov processes, named for Andrei Markov are among the most important of all random processes.
For a Markov chain, the ordinary Markov property implies the strong Markov property.
The study of Markov chains is simplified by the use of operator notation that is analogous to operations on vectors and matrices.

 Markov chain - MLpedia
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.
The world's mobile telephone systems depend on the Viterbi algorithm for error-correction, while Hidden Markov models (where the Markov transition probabilities are initially unknown and must also be estimated from the data) are extensively used in speech recognition and also in bioinformatics, for instance for coding region/gene prediction.
Markov chains also have many applications in biological modelling, particularly population processes, which are useful in modelling processes that are (at least) analogous to biological populations.

A Russian mathematician, Markov, who lived early in the 20th century defined one such class of processes, in which the probability of the process being in a given state at a particular time is related to the immediately preceding state of that process.
A Markov chain is, therefore, a sequence or chain of discrete states in time or space with fixed probabilities for the transition from one state to a given state in the next step in the chain.
In the Markov model a random component is present, so that the state of the system at any point of time or space is not wholly dependent on the previous event or events, but there is, nevertheless, a structure of successive events which defines the process.

 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.

 Markov Model
The name Markov model is derived from one of the assumptions which allows this system to be analyzed; namely the Markov property.
The Markov property states: given the current state of the system, the future evolution of the system is independent of its history.
Markov models are applicable to systems with common cause failures, such as an electrical lightning storm shock to a computer system.

 3.5 The Markov Property
In particular, we formally define a property of environments and their state signals that is of particular interest, called the Markov property.
This is sometimes also referred to as an "independence of path" property because all that matters is in the current state signal; its meaning is independent of the "path," or history, of signals that have led up to it.
The Markov property is important in reinforcement learning because decisions and values are assumed to be a function only of the current state.

 State function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In thermodynamics, a state function is any property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the way in which the system got to that state.
It is best to think of state functions as quantities or properties of a thermodynamic system, while non-state functions represent a process during which the state functions change.
For example, the state function PV is proportional to the internal energy of an ideal gas, but the work W is the amount of energy transferred as the system performs work.

 Markov chains
A Markov chain is a discrete stochastic process with discrete states and discrete transformations between them.
This is called the Markov property of the chain.

 Markov Chains
The construction of a Markov chain requires two basic ingredients, namely a transition matrix and an initial distribution.
The first identity in (2.3), which is also called ``Markov property'', defines the ``memory'' or ``order'' of the chain.
Although aperiodicity may be omitted, we will have this property in the examples discussed in Chapter 3.

A Markov chain is a special case of a Markov process, which itself is a special case of a random or stochastic process.
A Markov chain is a discrete-state random process in which the evolution of the state of the process beginning at a time t (continuous-time chain) or n (discrete-time chain) depends only on the current state X(t) or X
Hence, the only continuous-time, memory-less distribution is the exponential distribution, and the time between state changes in a continuous-time Markov chain is exponentially distributed.

The Markov property is about independence, specifically about the future development of a process being independent of anything that has happened in the past, given its present value.
The transition matrices of periodic Markov chains have eigenvalues on the unit circle.
