What are hidden Markov models, and why are they so useful for so many different problems? ... As a simple example, imagine the following caricature of a 5′ splice-site recognition problem.

Simple models, such as those used for Markov analysis, are often better at making predictions than more complicated models. ... An Example of Markov Analysis .
