Reduction of Markov Chains Using a Value-of-Information-Based Approach

In this paper, we propose an approach to obtain reduced-order models of Markov chains. Our approach is composed of two information-theoretic processes. The first is a means of comparing pairs of stationary chains on different state spaces, which is done via the negative, modified Kullback–...
