摘要
A density dependent Markov chain (DDMC) introduced in Kurtz (1978) is a special continuous time Markov process. Examples are considered in fields like epidemics and processes which describe chemical reactions. Moreover the Yule process is a further example. In this paper we prove a moderate deviation principle for the paths of a certain class of DDMC. The proofs of the bounds utilize an exponential martingale as well as a generalized version of Girsanov's theorem. The exponential martingale is defined according to the generator of the DDMC.
