A Martingale Decomposition of Discrete Markov Chains

We consider a multivariate time series whose increments are given from a homogeneous Markov chain. We show that the martingale component of this process can be extracted by a filtering method and establish the corresponding martingale decomposition in closed-form. This representation is useful for the analysis of time series that are confined to a grid, such as financial high frequency data.
