TITLE: Is a Bernoulli process a Markov chain?
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: For a Bernoulli process, the outcome of a future trial is independent of the outcome of past trials. I.e., the future behaviour of a Bernoulli process is independent of its past, i.e. a Bernoulli process posesses the Markov property. So every Bernoulli trial is a Markov chain, right?

REPLY [6 votes]: Yes, see Breuer 2005 p. 2
