Abstract:
We propose a new strategy for analyzing the evolution of random phenomena over time and space simultaneously based on the high-order multivariate Markov chains. We develop a novel Markov model of order for chains consisting of possible states to gather parsimony with realism. It can capture negative and positive associations among the chains with only a reduced number of parameters, , remarkably lower than required for the full parameterized model. Our model privileges are enhanced by a Monte Carlo simulation experiment, besides application to analyze the spatial-temporal dynamics for the risk level of a recently global pandemic (COVID-19) outbreak in world health organization (WHO) regions for predicting the risk state of epidemiological prevalence and monitoring infection control.

The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...
