In the mathematical theory of [[stochastic processes]], '''variable-order Markov (VOM) models''' are an important class of models that extend the well known [[Markov chain]] models. In contrast to the Markov chain models, where each [[random variable]] in a sequence with a [[Markov property]] depends on a fixed number of random variables, in VOM models this number of conditioning random variables may vary based on the specific observed realization.
 
This realization sequence is often called the ''context''; therefore the VOM models are also called ''context trees''.<ref name="Rissanen">{{cite journal|last = Rissanen|first = J.|title = A Universal Data Compression System|journal = IEEE Transactions on Information Theory|volume = 29|issue = 5|date = Sep 1983|pages = 656–664|doi = 10.1109/TIT.1983.1056741}}</ref> VOM models are nicely rendered by colorized probabilistic suffix trees (PST).<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Gabadinho|first1=Alexis|last2=Ritschard|first2=Gilbert|date=2016|title=Analyzing State Sequences with Probabilistic Suffix Trees: The PST R Package|url=http://www.jstatsoft.org/v72/i03/|journal=Journal of Statistical Software|language=en|volume=72|issue=3|doi=10.18637/jss.v072.i03|s2cid=63681202 |issn=1548-7660|doi-access=free}}</ref> The flexibility in the number of conditioning random variables turns out to be of real advantage for many applications, such as [[statistical analysis]], [[Statistical classification|classification]] and [[prediction]].<ref name="Shmilovici">{{cite journal|last = Shmilovici|first = A.|author2=Ben-Gal, I. |title = Using a VOM Model for Reconstructing Potential Coding Regions in EST Sequences|journal = Computational Statistics|volume = 22|issue = 1|year = 2007|pages = 49–69|doi = 10.1007/s00180-007-0021-8| s2cid=2737235 }}</ref><ref name="Begleiter">{{cite journal|last = Begleiter|first = R.|author2 = El-Yaniv, R.|author3 = Yona, G.|title = On Prediction Using Variable Order Markov models|journal = Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research|volume = 22|year = 2004|pages = 385–421|doi = 10.1613/jair.1491|doi-access = free}}</ref><ref name="Ben-Gal">{{cite journal|last=Ben-Gal|first=I.|author2=Morag, G.|author3=Shmilovici, A.|year=2003|title=Context-Based Statistical Process Control: A Monitoring Procedure for State-Dependent Processes|url=http://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~bengal/Technometrics_final.pdf|journal=Technometrics|volume=45|issue=4|pages=293–311|doi=10.1198/004017003000000122|s2cid=5227793 |issn=0040-1706}}</ref>
