SOFTWARE
- MARCA: MARkov Chain Analyzer
Software for generating and analyzing large Markov chains models.
MARCA determines mathematical properties
of the chain, computes stationary and transient probability
distributions and mean time to absorption from arbitrary
starting states.
- MARCA_Models:
A Database of Markov Chain Models.
TEXT BOOK
MARKOV CHAIN CONFERENCES
RESEARCH INTERESTS
- Markov Chains: Modelling and Analysis
- Scientific Computing; Numerical Linear Algebra
- Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems and
Communication Networks
