Abstract
We investigate processes having the following generalized Markovian property: to forecast their future, we need only the last k consecutive observations; a more distant past becomes irrelevant. We also discuss the issue of parameter estimation (unique to this chapter). The resulting theory can be applied to model random daily fluctuations (but not systematic or seasonal trends) of a stock market and similar situations.
