About the course

This page contains materials for Markov Chains course in 2023/2024 year, mandatory one for 1st year Master students of the MML program (HSE and Skoltech).

Grading

The final grade consists of 3 components (each is non-negative real number from 0 to 10, without any intermediate rounding) :

• O_HW for the hometasks
• O_Mid-term for the midterm exam
• O_Exam for the final exam

The formula for the final grade is

• O_Final = 0.35*O_HW + 0.3*O_Mid-term + 0.35*O_Exam

with the usual (arithmetical) rounding rule.
