Özet:

 


In this study, the use of the Markov chain to measure the change in
time-dependent transitions is emphasized. Contingency tables were used to
measure the time-dependent change of categorical data. Theoretically how to
apply the Markov chain in the log-linear model with the help of one-step or
higher-step transition matrices was demonstrated. In addition, the stationarity
approach and the assessment of the order of the chain were given as the
assumption of the model. In the real data application, 1217 undergraduate
students, studying in Faculty of Political Science, Engineering, Science
departments of Ankara University, were used. It was taken their cumulative
average grades for 4 years, average grades for 8 semesters, beginning in the
academic year 2013-2014.Whether the change in the success of the students is
measurable in 8 semesters and 4 years, has been investigated. According to the
results, before making any prediction: it concluded that one-step transition
probabilities are not stationary and the three-step transition matrix is the
second-order Markov Chain.
