We consider a homogeneous Markov chain of order s with r partial connections for which the transition probabilities from any state to the next depend not on all s preceding states but on r selected states only. We construct statistical estimators of parameters and statistical tests for values of these parameters of the model and investigate their asymptotic properties. Algorithms to calculate these estimators are suggested. The results of computer simulations are also given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
