Open Markov chain scheme models fed by second order stationary and non-stationary processes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a schematic formalism for the time evolution of a random open population divided into classes.
With a Markov chain model, allowing for population entrances, we consider the flow of incoming members modeled by a time series - either ARIMA for the number of new
incomings or SARMA for the residuals of a deterministic sigmoid type trend - and we detail the time series structure of the elements in each class.
A practical application to real data from a credit portfolio is presented.
