In: Statistics and Probability
Xn is a Markov Chain with state-space E = {0, 1, 2}, and transition matrix
0.4 0.2 0.4
P = 0.6 0.3 0.1
0.5 0.3 0.2
And initial probability vector a = [0.2, 0.3, 0.5]
For the Markov Chain with state-space, initial vector, and transition matrix discuss how we would calculate the follow; explain in words how to calculate the question below.
a) P(X1 = 0, X2 = 0, X3 = 1, X4 = 2|X0 = 2)
b) P(X2 = 2, X4 = 0, X5 = 1
