The pace in the development and adoption of the new technologies for bigdata analytics has
changed dramatically over the last several decades, and the amount of data being digitally …

This chapter presents and discusses two complementary statistical approaches for
analyzing trajectories in a life course perspective: Sequence analysis and Markovian …

This article proposes a new generalization of the Multivariate Markov Chains (MMC) model.
The future values of a Markov chain commonly depend on only the past values of the chain …

When working with Markov chains, especially if they are of order greater than one, it is often
necessary to evaluate the respective contribution of each lag of the variable under study on …

High-order Markov chains are very useful for the analysis of complex temporal relationships,
but they generally require a very high number of parameters. A good approach is then to …

Este trabalho propõe uma nova generalização do modelo de Cadeias de Markov
Multivariadas. Tipicamente, uma cadeia de Markov é descrita pelos valores passados do …
