Springer New York Semi-Markov Chains And Hidden Semi-Markov Models Toward Applications Vlad Stefan Barbu; Nikolaos Limnios

This book is concerned with the estimation of discrete-time semi-Markov and hidden semi-Markov processes. Semi-Markov processes are much more general and better adapted to applications than the Markov ones because sojourn times in any state can be arbitrarily distributed, as opposed to the geometric...
