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.
