As part of the ZeSt Colloquium, Jan-Ole Koslik from Bielefeld University will give a talk on "Mitigating consequences of the Markov property". The talk will take place on Tuesday 24th October from 12:00 to 13:00 in room W9-109. In his talk, Jan-Ole Koslik will examine whether the common criticism of so-called hidden Markov models, that they represent real processes too simply, also applies to more complex inhomogeneous models. For this purpose, important properties of inhomogeneous Markov chains will be derived.
