title: 'mcanalysis: Markov Chain Analysis for Structural Behaviour and Stability'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.mcanalysis
abstract: Analyses the stability and structural behaviour of export and import patterns
  across multiple countries using a Markov chain modelling framework. Constructs transition
  probability matrices to quantify changes in trade shares between successive periods,
  thereby capturing persistence, structural shifts, and inter-country interdependence
  in trade performance. By iteratively generating expected trade distributions over
  time, the approach facilitates assessment of stability, long-run equilibrium tendencies,
  and comparative dynamics in longitudinal trade data, providing a rigorous tool for
  empirical analysis of export–import behaviour. Methodological foundations follow
  standard Markov chain theory as described in Gagniuc (2017) <Doi:10.1002/9781119387596>.
