I've heard of Markov Chains, but I didn't understand them until I visited this site that explains them with simple ...

This is a graduate-level course focused on techniques and models in modern discrete probability. Topics include: the first and second moment methods, martingales, concentration inequalities, branching ...

This paper deals with censoring of infinite-state banded Markov chains. Censoring involves reducing the time spent in states outside a certain set of states to 0 without affecting the number of visits ...
