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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...

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...

First year-linear algebra (Proof based... and this is my first exposure to proofs so I'm like... lol). This question is pretty computational though.

The Attempt at a Solution
No clue :(
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].
