Markov Chain Course
Gain expertise in Markov chains using real-world engagement data. Build transition matrices, examine short- and long-term dynamics, simulate interventions, and convert probabilistic analysis into actionable strategies for informed decision-making. The course emphasises hands-on skills for reliable stochastic modelling and clear reporting tailored to stakeholders.

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. It covers assumption testing, intervention modelling, scenario comparisons, and producing reproducible reports with practical advice and uncertainty measures.
