THE FOREIGN NON-FUEL CARGO TRAFFIC DEMAND OF THE MAJOR BRITISH SEAPORTS IN 1980 AND 1985, A MARKOV CHAIN APPROACH
Projections of the future traffic demand of British seaports are of great importance to port-management bodies because of the huge capital investment required for installing modern port facilities. In this paper, the author uses a first order Markov Chain model to forecast the nonfuel cargo traffic demand of the major British seaports in 1980 and 1985.
