Markov Chain Course
Dive into Markov chains using real-world engagement data. Build and analyse transition matrices, explore short- and long-term dynamics, simulate interventions, and deliver actionable stochastic insights for informed, high-impact decisions. Gain hands-on skills in data cleaning, matrix estimation, stationary analysis, scenario comparison, and stakeholder reporting with quantified uncertainty.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to modelling weekly engagement data using Markov chains. Participants will clean and analyse data, build transition matrices, examine short- and long-term patterns, calculate stationary distributions, test key assumptions, simulate interventions, evaluate scenarios, and produce reproducible reports with practical recommendations and uncertainty measures.
Elevify advantages
