In principle each decision could depend on all the decisions which came before (the tags on all preceding words in the sentence).

Fall 2012. Vinay. B . Gavirangaswamy. Introduction. Markov Property. Processes future values are conditionally dependent on the present state of the system.. Strong Markov Property. Similar as Markov Property, where values are conditionally dependent on the stopping time (Markov time) instead of present state.. Markov processes in continuous time were discovered long before Andrey Markov's work in the early 20th . centuryin. the form of the Poisson process.. Markov was interested in studying an extension of independent random sequences, motivated by a disagreement with Pavel Nekrasov who claimed independence was necessary for the weak law of large numbers to hold..
