School Policy Evaluated with Time-Reversible Markov Chain
Trajan Murphy, Iddo Ben-Ari · OpenCommons at University of Connecticut (University of Connecticut) · 2019
In this work we propose a reversible Markov chain scheme to model for the mobility of students affected by a grade school leveling policy. This model provides unified and mathematically tractable framework in which transition functions are sampled uniformly from the set of {\\bf reversible} transition functions. The results from the study appear to confirm the disadvantageous effects of this school policy, on par with the of a previous model on the same policy.
