1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Model reduction of Markov processes is a basic problem in modeling state-transition systems. Motivated by the state aggregation approach rooted in control theory, we study the statistical state compression of a discrete-state Markov chain from empirical trajectories. Through the lens of spectral decomposition, we study the rank and features of Markov processes, as well as properties like representability, aggregability, and lumpability. We develop spectral methods for estimating the transition matrix of a low-rank Markov model, estimating the leading subspace spanned by Markov features, and recovering latent structures like state aggregation and lumpable partition of the state space. We prove statistical upper bounds for the estimation errors and nearly matching minimax lower bounds. Numerical studies are performed on synthetic data and a dataset of New York City taxi trips.
