Exit Frequency Matrices for Finite Markov Chains
Consider a finite irreducible Markov chain on state space S with transition matrix M and stationary distribution π. Let R be the diagonal matrix of return times, Rii = 1/πi. Given distributions σ, τ and k ∈ S, the exit frequency xk(σ, τ) denotes the expected number of times a random walk exits state k before an optimal stopping rule from σ to τ halts the walk. For a target distribution τ , we d...
متن کاملFinite-State Markov Chains for Multiple Sequences
We consider the analysis of sets of categorical sequences consisting of piecewise homogeneous Markov segments. The sequences are assumed to be governed by a common underlying process with segments occurring in the same order for each sequence. Segments are defined by a set of unobserved changepoints where the positions and number of changepoints can vary from sequence to sequence. We propose a ...
متن کاملSeries Expansions for Finite-state Markov Chains
This paper provides series expansions of the stationary distribution of a finite Markov chain. This leads to an efficient numerical algorithm for computing the stationary distribution of a finite Markov chain. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
متن کاملFinite-state Markov Chains Obey Benford's Law
A sequence ofreal numbers (xn) is Benford if the significands, i.e., the fraction parts in the floating-point representation of (x ), are distributed logarithmically. Similarly, a discrete-time irreducible and aperiodic fi n nite-state Markov chain with transition probability matrix P and limiting matrix P' is Benford if every com ponent of both sequences of matrices (pn P') and (pn+1 pn) is ...
متن کاملcient State Classi cation of Finite State Markov Chains
This paper presents an e cient method for state classi cation of nite state Markov chains using BDD-based symbolic techniques. The method exploits the fundamental properties of a Markov chain and classi es the state space by iteratively applying reachability analysis. We compare our method with the current state-of-the-art technique which requires the computation of the transitive closure of th...
