    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    I initially looked at neural networks, but I wasn't quite sure if it would be suitable or as efficient. Did your professor describe the back propagation method, or was it another variation? Thanks

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    lol GPL ftw! :) I'm using C#.Although, this problem doesn't seem to complicated, I'm still not sure why certain programs require deeper knowledge. For example, I saw this video: Would they be using the same method?

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    I've managed to knock up a quick program, which can predict the next colour, based on which colours have been previously picked the most. My current program always assume the pair is Red-X (where X can be Red, Green or Blue), just for simplicity sake. But, if I have thousands of colours (or...

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    Hi Focus, Thanks a lot for your reply. I think I understand it more clearly now, but there's still something that I don't see. In this example, having a few colours and such is fine. However, in the real application, the user can have thousands of categories. Is there a way to make predictions...

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    lol when you put it like that, it does seem easy. It's just that I'm completley new to Markov models and all technical papers I've read mention various algorithms such as Baum-Welch, Viterbi etc... This is what is confusing me. Maybe I've jumped into the deep end, but what are these algorithms...

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    Thanks for the reply. I have chosen colours as a simple example, so that I can test any code, before it moves onto more complicated areas. I am assuming that the user is selecting the colours in some fashion as if the colours represented something more complicated. Simply taking into account...

    How can I use Markov Chains to predict a user's next choice of color?

    Hi everyone, I'm more of a programmer than a mathematician/physicist. However, my query on google and such, led me here and I think someone might be able to help me. I'm trying to create a program that guesses the next colour the user will select, based on previous selections. I've come...
