Question
  1. Consider a Markov chain {Xn}n≥0 having the following transition diagram:

For this chain, there are two recurrent classes R1 = {6, 7} and R2 = {1, 2, 5}, and one transient class R3 = {3, 4}.

  • Find the period of state
  • Find f33 and f22.
  • Starting at state 3, find the probability that the chain is absorbed into R1.
  • Starting at state 3, find the mean absorbation time, i.e., the expected number of steps that the chain is absorbed into R1 or R2.

 

Note: there are missing transition probabilities for this chain, but no impact for your solution.
