Continuous-Time Higher Order Markov Chains: Formulation and Parameter Estimation

Probability 2021-04-13 v1

Abstract

Stochastic processes find applications in modelling systems in a variety of disciplines. A large number of stochastic models considered are Markovian in nature. It is often observed that higher order Markov processes can model the data better. However most higher order Markov models are discrete. Here, we propose a novel continuous-time formulation of higher order Markov processes, as stochastic differential equations, and propose a method of parameter estimation by maximum likelihood methods.
