Let P be the n*n transition matrix of a Markov chain with a finite state space S = {1, 2, ..., n}. Show that 7 is the stationary distribution of the Markov chain, i.e., P = , 2hTi = 1 if and only if (I – P+117) = 17 where I is the n*n identity matrix and 17 = [11...1) is a 1 * n row vector with all components being 1.
Consider a Markov chain with state space S = {1,2,3,4} and transition matrix P = where (a) Draw a directed graph that represents the transition matrix for this Markov chain. (b) Compute the following probabilities: P(starting from state 1, the process reaches state 3 in exactly three-time steps); P(starting from state 1, the process reaches state 3 in exactly four-time steps); P(starting from state 1, the process reaches states higher than state 1 in exactly two-time steps). (c) If the...
