What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to using Markov chains for analysing weekly user engagement data. Participants will learn data cleaning and exploration techniques, 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 clear reports with recommendations backed by quantified uncertainty measures.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Markov chain modelling: quickly construct, estimate, and validate discrete-time Markov chains.
- Transition matrix analysis: calculate powers, n-step transitions, and mean first passage times.
- Stationary distribution analysis: compute and interpret long-term equilibrium behaviours.
