    Steady state transition matrix

    Ok, I'm lost. I've an exam coming up so could so with a speedy reply. This whole transition matrix stuff is not explained at all in our lecture notes. Here's an example question: "Suppose that a country has a fixed number of voters, all of whom vote for either party D or party R. Every...

    Find Matrix of Linear Transformation T w/ Respect to Basis B

    I came across this problem in one of my linear algebra books. A linear transformation T:R^3 ->R^3 has matrix 2 3 0 -1 1 2 2 0 1 with respect to the standard basis for R^3. Find the matrix of T with respect to the basis B={(1,2,1),(0,1,-1),(2,3,2)} The answer given is...

    [markov chain] reading expected value from the transition matrix

    Hello there, yet another trivial problem: I've attended the 'stochastic process' course some time ago but the only thing I remember is that this kind of problem is really easy to compute, there is some simple pattern for this I presume. thanks for your help, rahl.

    Transition Matrix for a betting game

    Suppose that a casino introduces a game in which a player bets $1 and can either win $2 or lose it, both with equal chances. The game ends when the player runs out of money, or when he wins $4. (a) Build a transition matrix for the game, and show that it is not a regular transition matrix...

    What is a Regular Transition Matrix

    I have to learn a section from my textbook and I can't seem to undertand what a regular transition matrix is. The definition given is: A transition matrix is regular if some integer power of it has all positive entries. Now an identity matrix isn't regular, but I am pretty sure all integer...

    Exponential of (Markov Chain) Transition matrix

    Hi, I have a (markov chain) transition matrix X which I understand. In particular each row of this matrix sums to 1. I have used this transition matrix to construct it's generator, Y. I.e. Y is the continuously compounded transition matrix, X = exp(Y) X*X = exp(2Y), etc both X and Y...

    Help with determining the transition matrix for a markov chain

    Homework Statement well i have my algebra exam coming up and my teacher told us that there is going to be a markov chain problem. the only problem i have is that i don't know how to get the initial transition matrix, which is crucial in getting full marks. can someone help me in determining how...

    Solving Transition Matrix: Find Coefficients of B to B

    Im trying to figure out how to do this question. This is an example in the book i have. I am not sure how they got the answer. Here is the example from the book: Find the Transition Matrix P from the basis B={t+1, 2t, t-1} to B'={4t^{2}-6t, 2t^{2}-2, 4t} for the space R[t]. A little...
