ABSTRACT Markov chain analysis is a comparatively simple statistical technique for the detection of repetitive processes in space or time. Coal measure cyclothems or fluvial fining‐upward cycles are good examples of sedimentary successions laid down under the control of Markovian processes. Analyses...
