Uncovering the State of an Individual: A Markov Chain Procedure

  • Chapter
Knowledge Spaces

Abstract

This chapter presents an assessment procedure that is similar in spirit to those described in Chapter 10, but different in a key aspect: it is based on a finite Markov chain rather than on a Markov process with an uncountable set of Markov states. As a consequence, the procedure requires less storage and computation and can thus be implemented on a small machine.
