21 The Exponential Distribution
distribution if it has probability density function f X(x|λ) = ˆ λe−λx for x>0 0 for x≤ 0, where λ>0 is called the rate of the distribution. In the study of continuous-time stochastic processes, the exponential distribution is usually used to model the time until something hap-pens in the process. The mean of the Exponential(λ ...

13 Introduction to Stationary Distributions
mast.queensu.caSo “stationary” refers to “stationary in time”. In particular, for a stationary process, the distribution of X n is the same for all n. So why do we care if our Markov chain is stationary? Well, if it were stationary and we knew what the distribution of each X nwas then we would know a lot because we would know the long run proportion of
