WHAT DOES MARKOV CHAIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Markov chain

A Markov chain named after Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another on a state space. It is a random process usually characterized as memoryless: the next state depends only on the current state and not on the sequence of events that preceded it. This specific kind of "memorylessness" is called the Markov property. Markov chains have many applications as statistical models of real-world processes.

Definition of Markov chain in the English dictionary

The definition of Markov chain in the dictionary is a sequence of events the probability for each of which is dependent only on the event immediately preceding it.
