The discussion by Morrow (1986) regarding accuracy of transition matrices in Markov analysis brings up several important points that we wish to respond to. Discussion mainly concerns the transition frequency matrices incorporated into our analysis of the Morgan Formation (Tables 1 and 3 in Driese and Dott, 1984).
Although a total of 22 stratigraphic sections were investigated, only 15 were actually used in the construction of Tables 1 and 3. Furthermore, of the 15 stratigraphic sections, only 9 could be considered “nearly complete” in the sense that 80-90% of the upper member of the Morgan Formation (approximately 200 m...
