Examining the Role of Mood Patterns in Predicting Self-Reported Depressive symptoms
Table 4. Transition Probabilities of Observations

S5SS2SSS1Px2 Transition Probabilities of Observations We are also interested to know whether people are more likely to transfer from certain mood states to another. We constructed a transition probability matrix for the observations (daily mood representation). High symptom individuals have higher probabilities of changing in between any mood states other than silence. This result aligns with the findings from the GP regression that low symptom individuals shows less fluctuations in their mood representation.
