Industrial migration in Ontario [electronic resource] : forecasting aspects of industrial activity through Markov chain analysis / Lyndhurst Collins. Ottawa : Statistics Canada, Regional Statistics Research and Integration Staff, 1972. 154 p. : charts, maps, ill. "Published by authority of the Minister of industry, Trade and Commerce." Includes bibliographic references. This study examines the application of Markov chain models to the forecasting of two aspects of industrial activity: the relocations of manufacturing establishments, and their growth as measured by a number of employees. The Province of Ontario was chosen as a pilot study area which would provide an adequate and manageable volume of data. The modelling is based on data, spanning the period 1961 - 65, derived from the Census of Manufactures, an annual survey made by Statistics Canada. A further purpose of the study is to explore techniques of improving the accuracy of Markov chain models which could be helpful in this and similar contexts. gccst Manufacturing industry Statistics Canada.
