“…Regime-switching models have received considerable attention recently, see, e.g. Q. Liu et al [20], Jacka and Ocejo [15], Momeya [22], Xu et al [28], R.H. Liu [19], G. Wang et al [27], Landriault et al [18], Chen et al [4], Guillou et al [13], Lu [21], Asmussen [1], Gajek and Rudź [9][10][11][12] and the references therein for an overview of selected developments and applications of Markov-modulated models and related problems.…”
