Changing input

Once you created the Markov Chain model using the wizard, you may want to change the state names, add new states, delete or edit a state, and change transition probabilities, right?

Ok. In this document, we will show how to do those things.


Changing Transition Probabilities

Add, Edit, or Delete a State

In order to add a new state, simply enter the new state name here and hit the Enter key.
