Question

4. Consider the Markov chain with transition matrix given by P = [ 0 0.3 0.7 ; 0 1 0 ; 0.1 0.2 0.7 ] i) Draw a transition diagram. ii) Determine the nature (absorbing, transient or persistent) of each state. iii) Find the period of each state. 5. For the following transition matrix 1 2 3 4 1 [ 1 0 0 0 ] 2 [ 1 0 0 0 ] 3 [ 1/2 1/2 0 0 ] 4 [ 1/3 1/3 1/3 0 ] Is the chain ergodic?

Step 1

1, 0.2, 0.7]. This is not a standard form of a transition matrix for a Markov chain. A Markov chain transition matrix should be a square matrix where each row sums up to 1. Show more…
