The Strange Math That Predicts (Almost) Anything
About this video
A Veritasium video on how a feud between Russian mathematicians led to Markov chains and the modern prediction algorithms built on them. It covers the history and the math behind them.
Why it appears in the archive
HN recommends it as an excellent, detailed history of Markov chains, often in threads on Markov models and language models.

I assume OP watched this excellent Veritasium video about Markov and his chains [0] and posted this article which was referenced in that video. [0] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗not sure if it counts as a list of case studies, but a relevant and recent video nonetheless [VIDEO] also in general bayesian statistics random medium article: [LINK]
Read original comment ↗Ah, yes, Markov chains. A long time agoMark V. Shaney [LINK] was designed by Rob Pike and posted on Usenet. And Veritasium's video "The Strange Math That Predicts (Almost) Anything" talks in detail about the history of Markov chains: [VIDEO]
