Question

2. Consider a Markov chain with state space S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with the transition matrix $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 2/5 & 3/5 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1/2 & 1/2 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 2/3 & 1/3 \\ 1/2 & 1/2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1/4 & 3/4 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ a) Draw the digraph for the MC. b) Clearly label the states as completely as possible. Credits will be given for correct extra effort. c) Compute $P^n$, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Any comment?

Step 1

The digraph for the Markov chain with state space S = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the given transition matrix is as follows: ``` 0 -> 2/5 -> 2 -> 3/5 -> 3 1 -> 1 2 -> 1/2 -> 4 -> 1/2 -> 5 3 -> 2/3 -> 2 -> 1/3 -> 5 4 -> 1/4 -> 2 -> 3/4 -> 5 5 -> 1 ``` Show more…
