We consider binary infinite order stochastic chains perturbed by a random noise. This means that at each time step, the value assumed by the chain can be randomly and independently flipped with a small fixed probability. ...

This paper shows an application of Type-reduction algorithms for computing the steady state of an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Markov Chain (IT2FM). The IT2FM approach is an extension of the scope of a Type-1 fuzzy markov chain ...

In this work we studied the consistency for a class of kernel estimates of f f (.) in the Markov chains with general state space E C Rd case. This study is divided into two parts: In the first one f (.) is a stationary ...

This paper analyzes the geography of regional competitiveness in manufacturing in Brazil. The authors estimate stochastic frontiers to calculate regional efficiency of representative firms in 137 regions in the period ...

In this work we define a stochastic adding machine associated to a quadratic base (F-n) (n >= 0) formed by recurrent sequences of order 2. We obtain a Markov chain with states in Z(+) and we prove that the spectrum of the ...
