Markov Chain Course
Dive into Markov chains using real-world engagement data. Build and estimate transition matrices, examine short- and long-term dynamics, simulate interventions, and transform probabilistic analysis into practical, high-impact recommendations. Gain hands-on experience in creating stakeholder-ready reports that quantify uncertainty and support informed decisions in dynamic systems.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to using Markov chains for analysing weekly engagement data. Participants will learn data cleaning and exploration, transition matrix estimation, analysis of short-term and long-term patterns, and calculation of stationary distributions. Key skills include testing model assumptions, simulating interventions, comparing different scenarios, and producing reproducible reports with actionable insights and uncertainty measures.
