Markov additive process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In applied probability, a Markov additive process (MAP) is a bivariate Markov process where the future states depends only on one of the variables.[1]

Finite or countable state space for J(t)

The process is a Markov additive process with continuous time parameter t if[1]

  1. is a Markov process
  2. the conditional distribution of given depends only on .

The state space of the process is R × S where X(t) takes real values and J(t) takes values in some countable set S.

General state space for J(t)

For the case where J(t) takes a more general state space the evolution of X(t) is governed by J(t) in the sense that for any f and g we require[2]
