📘 Two-State Markov Model – Complete Concept, Transition Probabilities, Derivations & Applications
Welcome to this comprehensive video lecture on the Two-State Markov Model, one of the most foundational topics in stochastic processes, probability theory, and actuarial mathematics. In this video, we’ll go beyond just the formulas and help you build an intuitive and mathematical understanding of how a two-state system evolves over time using Markovian principles.
Whether you’re a student of statistics, economics, mathematics, actuarial science, computer science, or operations research, this video will equip you with the skills to use and interpret two-state Markov models in both theoretical and applied settings.

This video is designed not just for exam takers but also for research scholars and working professionals who apply stochastic models in finance, insurance, biology, marketing, or reliability engineering.
📘 Why Are Two-State Markov Models Important?
Two-state Markov models are a subset of Markov chains where the system has only two possible states (like Working/Failed, Married/Single, On/Off, Healthy/Sick). These models are widely used in:
Reliability and risk management
Health economics and medical research
Inventory systems and queueing models
Finance and insurance pricing
Credit risk modeling
Predictive maintenance and machine learning
Understanding the two-state case helps build intuition for larger state spaces and advanced stochastic modeling techniques.
