Question

Consider the Markov chain whose transition probability matrix is: [ 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1/3 1/3 1/3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1/2 0 0 0 1/2 ] (a) Classify the states {0,1,2,3,4,5} into classes. (b) Identify the recurrent and transient states. (c) Compute the period of each recurrent class. (d) Identify the ergodic states.

          Consider the Markov chain whose transition probability matrix is:

[
0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0
1/3 1/3 1/3 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1/2 0 0 0 1/2
]

(a) Classify the states {0,1,2,3,4,5} into classes.
(b) Identify the recurrent and transient states.
(c) Compute the period of each recurrent class.
(d) Identify the ergodic states.
