Abstract

The Optimal estimation of the states of a MAP—a particular case of the BMAP—flow of events is studied. Expressions for the a posteriori probabilities of the states of the control process of the MAP flow are derived. An optimal estimation algorithm for determining the states from the maximal a posteriori state probabilities is designed and the numerical results it generated in imitation modelling of an event flow are presented.
