Content

Markov chains are a universal tool to model real-world processes, including financial markets, reaction kinetics and molecular dynamics.

Topics:

  • Introduction to the theory of Markov chains
  • Estimation of Markov chains from data
  • Estimation uncertainty
  • Transition path theory
  • Analysis of Markov chains
  • Spectral analysis
  • Discretization of continuous Markov processes

Additionally, here is a script covering many topics that appear in the course. However, it also contains material that will not be used. pdf

Software Lab: The accompanying software lab addresses the practical issues of building Markov Models by means of a short series of software projects. In this part of the course, we will implement codes to estimate and analyse Markov Models, and approach the topic of data generation as well.

All students are required to have basic training in programming and be familiar with at least one of the languages (Python, C/C++, Java). Matlab is not sufficient.
