Markov chain, a Rare card
In probability theory and statistics, a Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic process describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event.

Markov chain quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Markov chain card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
A continuous-time ______ is called a continuous-time Markov chain.
Answer
process. A continuous-time process is called a continuous-time Markov chain. From the Markov chain article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Markov chain. Markov chain 84 · Time travel 81 · Anna's Archive 77 · Jackfruit 74 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Anna's Archive. Anna's Archive 17,000,000 · ASCII 820,000 · Markov chain 460,000 · Time travel 330,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A countably infinite sequence, in which the chain moves state at discrete time steps, gives a discrete-time Markov chain.
- A continuous-time process is called a continuous-time Markov chain.
- Markov processes are named in honor of the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Markov chain article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get Markov chain
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
