Testing a Markov hypothesis with independence of intermediate states and restricted order
中间状态独立且阶数受限的马尔可夫假说检验
SUMMARY A c-order Markov process which is independent of the intermediate states is employed as a model of protein formation; and the problem of testing a zero order hypothesis versus a general, non-zero order alternative is considered as it applies to the question of the origin of proteins. The asymptotic distributions of goodness-of-fit statistics for the transition probabilities are found for each of the collection of orders encompassed by the alternative, and the…
