ABSTRACT

Recently, the Markov chain model, which is a model that depends on the probability of transition, has been widely used in areas related to health problems. This article aims to build the yearly transition model for the health state of workers who contribute under the Employment Injury Scheme (EIS) SOCSO in Malaysia using the Markov chain model. In addition, the stationary test is carried out to confirm whether the model can be used for the projection of transition probabilities of the contributors’ health levels.

 

Keyworkds: Markov chain; stationary; transition probabilities

 

ABSTRAK

Sejak kebelakangan ini, model rantaian Markov, iaitu suatu model yang bergantung kepada kebarangkalian peralihan, telah banyak digunakan dalam bidang berkaitan masalah kesihatan. Kertas ini bertujuan untuk membina model peralihan tahunan bagi tahap kesihatan pekerja yang mencarum di bawah Skim Bencana Pekerjaan (SBP) PERKESO di Malaysia menggunakan model rantaian Markov. Selain itu, ujian kepegunan dijalankan untuk mengesahkan sama ada model yang diperoleh boleh digunakan untuk pengunjuran kebarangkalian peralihan bagi tahap kesihatan pencarum.

 

Kata kunci: Kebarangkalian peralihan; kepegunan; rantaian Markov
