Estimating and interpolating a Markov chain from aggregate data
利用聚合数据估计与插值马尔可夫链
Given aggregated longitudinal data generated by a Markov chain, which may be nonhomogeneous, the problem considered is that of modelling, estimating and interpolating the logarithms of partial odds and hence the transition probabilities. By partial odds is meant the probability of a transition to another state divided by the probability of no transition. A result establishing asymptotic normality leads to vector weighted least squares estimation of parameterised partial odds…
