```
public void compare(MarkovChain firstChain,
                    MarkovChain secondChain)
```
    Compares two Markov chains.
    
    Parameters:
    
    firstChain - the first chain
    
    secondChain - the second chain
  - compare
```
public void compare(String firstMarkovFileName,
                    String secondMarkovFileName)
```
    Loads and compares the Markov models identified by the two given file names. The files must exist and contain valid Markov models.
    
    Parameters:
    
    firstMarkovFileName - the file name of the first Markov model
    
    secondMarkovFileName - the file name of the second Markov model
