报告摘要：

We consider a finite-state Markov process in which the states are classified into a small number of groups.  However, you cannot observe which individual state the process occupies, but only which group of states it belongs to. The result may be usefully described as a (partially observed) semi-Markov process.     

We describe applications to biological ion channels that regulate electrical activity in the nervous system. In doing so we need to allow for the finite resolution of recording equipment that results in some occupations of a group being too short to be observed.

Professor Alan G Hawkes是国际著名的预测科学、统计学、随机过程专家。他在二十世纪七十年代提出了集结Markov过程（Aggregated Markov processes）从而形成了一个重要研究方向。国际上称这类过程为Hawkes过程，在经济预测、大系统化简、系统性能评估和生物信息学等领域有重要的应用。
