Hello, I have a question in regards to markov chains and transition probabilities.
I am trying to figure out a way to calculate the "kth-step transition matrix" of a given matrix. Say for example I have a single step 2x2 matrix: 1 2 P= 1 .95 .05 2 .01. 99 If I were to convert this matrix to a 2-step transition probability matrix I would get: 1 2 P^2 = 1 .90 .10 2 .02 .98 Is there a way to use [R] to calculate the nth step of a given matrix? Thanks, -Brad ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
