We derive conditions under which a sequence of processes will converge to a (continuous-time) Markov chain with an entrance boundary. Our main application of this result is in proving weak convergence ...

Markov chains and queueing theory together provide a robust framework for analysing systems that evolve randomly over time. Markov chains describe stochastic processes where the future state depends ...

What Is Markov Chain Monte Carlo? Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a powerful technique used in statistics and various scientific fields to sample from complex probability distributions. It is ...
