Abstract

In this paper we concern ourselves with the Q-matrices of time-substituted Markov chains where the time-substitutions are based on fluctuating clocks with noise. The results of this paper follow on naturally from the analysis in Kennedy and Williams [3], in which the problems of characterization and of calculation of these Q-matrices were addressed. Here, we study the Q-matrices as functions of the variance σ2 of the noise.
