Predicted transitions (counts) from both Markov and Logistic models. Four transitions ([11], [10], [01], [00]) of the predicted adherence data were compared against transitions in the observed data. A total of five simulations were carried out for both models to show the stochastic noise. Transitions predicted by the Markov model were closer to the observed values than the logistic model in all instances.
