• MARCA: MARkov Chain Analyzer
  Software for generating and analyzing large Markov chains models. MARCA determines mathematical properties of the chain, computes stationary and transient probability distributions and mean time to absorption from arbitrary starting states.
• MARCA_Models:
  A Database of Markov Chain Models.
