Markov chains are frequently used in Operational Research to describe how a system changes over time, its behaviour being governed by its transition matrix. This paper describes a technique for ...

The most accurate estimation of transition probabilities for a multi-state model of health status requires longitudinal data. However, for many countries such data are usually not available. Instead, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an accelerated method for solving electrically large open-ended cavity problems by combining the generalized transition matrix (GTM) model with the multilevel ...
