Any matrix with properties (i) and (ii) gives rise to a Markov chain, X n. To construct the chain we can think of playing a board game. When we are in state i, we roll a die (or generate a random number on a computer) to pick the

A discrete-time stochastic process {X n: n ≥ 0} on a countable set S is a collection of S-valued random variables defined on a probability space (Ω,F,P).The Pis a probability measure on a family of events F (a σ-field) in an event-space Ω.1 The set Sis the state space of the …

Random walk: Let f n: n 1gdenote any iid sequence (called the increments), and de ne X n def= 1 + + n; X 0 = 0: (2) The Markov property follows since X n+1 = X n + n+1; n 0 which asserts that the future, given the present state, only depends on the present state X n and an independent (of the past) r.v. n+1. When P( = 1) = p;P( = 1) = 1 p, then the random walk is called a simple random
