T-maze A mouse is put into a T-maze (a maze shaped like a T). In this maze, it has the choice of turning to the left and being rewarded with cheese or going to the right and receiving a mild shock. Before any conditioning takes place (i.e., on trial 1), the mouse is equally likely to go to the left or to the right. After the first trial, its decision is influenced by what happened on the previous trial. If it receives cheese on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right become .9 and .1, respectively, on the following trial. If it receives the electric shock on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right on the next trial become .7 and .3, respectively. What is the probability that the mouse will turn left on the second trial?

Assuming that {X+} is weakly stationary, define the autocorrelation function (acf) Pk, for lag k. What conditions must a process {X+) satisfy for it to be white noise? (b) Let N(0, 1) for t€ Z, with the {+} being mutually independent. Which of the following processes {X+} are weakly stationary for t> 0? Briefly justify your answers. i. Xt for all > 0. ii. Xo~N(0,) and X₁ = 2X+-1+ &t for t > 0. (c) Provide an expression for estimating the autocovariance function for a sample X1,..., X believed to be from a weakly stationary process. How is the autocor- relation function Pk then estimated, and a correlogram (or acf plot) constructed?

(a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁. (b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that: ⚫each Qi starts at z; • each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are distinct; the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex 2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo, W1, and w₂). (c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)arrow_forward6.
