Prob & Stats - Markov Chains (1 of 38) What are Markov Chains: An Introduction

In this video I will introduce Markov chains and how it predicts the probability of future outcomes.

Next video in the Markov Chains series:

I am going to say this is the best teacher teaching in a simple way for Markov Chain. I watched this video and easily understood the principles behind this law. Thanks!

[Alex]

thanks i m 15 years old fan of informatics and programming machine learning I ve been through all the courses on probs already and now im gonna do this one. U openned my appetit for Maths and algorithms. You changed my life. keep up the great work

[mosca-tse-tse]

Oh sir, you are such a seasoned scholar! I really enjoyed your lecture, each and every minute of it. Thank you.

[jmainex]

I like the fact that it's straight forward and easy to grasp....from all of us in 2022, thank you

[sanjuktaghosh]

You are the best maths teacher I have ever seen!

[YouTubeisfun]

You were born for this Sir. I greatly appreciate your explanations. Straight and simple.

[iboroaffiah]

your the best sir, this is the first detailed video on markov chain.i will recommend this to anyone. thank you for this detailed explanation

[mostinho]

Done thanks

Each column in transition matrix adds up to 1 (transition from one state to all the possible states)
X1 = PX0
X is state vector (column vector)

7:00 the probability for next state being A is the sum of all the possible ways we could end up at A (sum of: probability of being in A and staying at A * probability of current state being A, probability of going from B to A * probability of current state being B, probability of going from C to A * probability of current state being C)

There is another notation where the transition matrix is transposed and the next state is found by doing X1 = X0 P
And in this notation state is a row vector instead of column

I just finished this series..It was so helpful, I recommend it . Thnx for your effort prof

[ayndecastro]

Thank you sir! I got a coding challenge for an interview. And as a self taught programmer, I have not accros this concept. This is exactly what I needed, I understand your explanation so good I know how to code it myself. Passed the challenge! I hope you read this! THANK YOU!

[woodypham]

One if the best lecturer on this hard to understand topic

[isabelapinzon]

It is the best video I´ve seen about Markov chains... you´re a really great teacher.

[austinjohn]

Waoh. Teachers are very rare to find and when you find one it is like finding a refreshing oasis in large desert. Look at how he simplifies for us complex topics. Michel you were born to do this! I therefore subscribe and like. Keeping helping us

[いぬ-jc]

your voice is so clear and comfortable to study not only math, also English.

[DataBeach]

Amazing lecture devoid of unnecessary noise. Clear, simple, well explained. Thanks a lot.

[rivers]

I took linear algebra last semester and I found this section very interesting, I am considering making a markov chain for my final project in my programming class. This video is so clear and very informative, Im already starting to think of how I am going to make the code. Thank you so much!

[mannatkalra]

Thank you so much, Sir!
Amazing video!

Peeps, come right here for the BEST understanding of the concept!

[kobeconradabellera]

I was having a hard time understanding the MC with all those complex notations in the journal articles. This instruction video is what I need. MC brilliantly explained. Thank you

[peteradegbola]

great one prof. this has really solved the problems I have looking to solve for 6 months now. kudos and more knowledge.

[MyFirstReurveBow]

best explanation so far finally a video showing the calculation thank you very much
