Stationary Probabilities of Markov Chains
In this paper, based on probabilistic arguments, we obtain an explicit solution of the stationary distribution for a discrete time Markov chain with an upper Hessenberg time stationary transition probability matrix. Our solution then leads to a numerically stable and eecient algorithm for computing stationary probabilities. Two other expressions for the stationary distribution are also derived,...
متن کاملMarkov Chains , Coupling , Stationary Distribution
In this lecture, we will introduce Markov chains and show a potential algorithmic use of Markov chains for sampling from complex distributions. For a finite state space Ω, we say a sequence of random variables (Xt) on Ω is a Markov chain if the sequence is Markovian in the following sense, for all t, all x0, . . . , xt, y ∈ Ω, we require Pr(Xt+1 = y|X0 = x0, X1 = x1, . . . , Xt = xt) = Pr(Xt+1 ...
متن کاملTaylor Series Expansions for Stationary Markov Chains
We study Taylor series expansions of stationary characteristics of general-state-space Markov chains. The elements of the Taylor series are explicitly calculated and a lower bound for the radius of convergence of the Taylor series is established. The analysis provided in this paper applies to the case where the stationary characteristic is given through an unbounded sample performance function ...
متن کاملMeasure-Valued Differentiation for Stationary Markov Chains
We study general state-space Markov chains that depend on a parameter, say, . Sufficient conditions are established for the stationary performance of such a Markov chain to be differentiable with respect to . Specifically, we study the case of unbounded performance functions and thereby extend the result on weak differentiability of stationary distributions of Markov chains to unbounded mapping...
متن کاملAn interlacing theorem for reversible Markov chains
Reversible Markov chains are an indispensable tool in the modeling of a vast class of physical, chemical, biological and statistical problems. Examples include the master equation descriptions of relaxing physical systems, stochastic optimization algorithms such as simulated annealing, chemical dynamics of protein folding and Markov chain Monte Carlo statistical estimation. Very often the large...
