Dec 8, 2022 · To sum up, Markov kernels are a formal way to set up conditional distributions. (2) is precisely the part of the definition that captures this aspect, while (1) is needed for technical reasons …

Oct 12, 2024 · The book then proceeds to a exercise question that asks to see if a matrix P is reversible or not? By the theorem above, it seems that reversibility depends on the distribution $\lambda$ and …

Apr 25, 2017 · A Markov process is basically a stochastic process in which the past history of the process is irrelevant if you know the current system state. In other words, all information about the …
