Markov chain model in structural state and its inference
Ji Yao · Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology · 2000
Markov chain is an acceptable model for describing and forecasting structural state, whereas the present method, the maximum likelihood method, meets difficulties in the course of setting up the model, because it takes a long time to collect data in different period. A new method of least squares on data of present states is presented in this paper, which makes it more feasible for Markov chain model to set up in practive.
