4 Absorbing Markov Chains - SSCC - Home

4 Absorbing Markov Chains So far, we have focused on regular Markov chains for which the transition matrix P is primitive. Because primitivity requires P(i,i) < 1 for every state i, regular chains never get “stuck” in a particular state. However, other Markov chains may have one

CHAPTER 3: Random Variables and Probability Distributions

A discrete random variable is a random variable whose possible values either constitute a nite set or else can be listed in an in nite sequence. A random variable is continuous if its set of possible values consists of an entire interval on the number line. Many random variables, such as weight of an item, length of life of a motor etc., can ...

This distribution function is neither continuous (since it has a discontinuity at x = 0) nor discrete (since it increases ...

Uniform random variables and percentiles. Toss n = 300 million Americans into a hat and pull one out. uniformly at random. Is the height of the person you choose a uniform random variable? Maybe in an approximate sense? No. Is the percentile of the person I choose uniformly random? In. other words, let p be the fraction of people left in the hat

Chapter 4 RANDOM VARIABLES

DEFINITION: A random variable is said to be continuous if its cdf is a continuous function (see later). This is an important case, which occurs frequently in practice. EXAMPLE: The Exponential Distribution Consider the rv Y with cdf FY (y) = 0, y < 0, 1 − e−y, y ≥ 0. This meets all the requirements above, and is not a step function.

Transformations of Random Variables

2 Continuous Random Variable The easiest case for transformations of continuous random variables is the case of gone-to-one. We rst consider the case of gincreasing on the range of the random variable X. In this case, g 1 is also an increasing function. To compute the cumulative distribution of Y = g(X) in terms of the cumulative distribution ...

6 Jointly continuous random variables

Recall that X is continuous if there is a function f(x) (the density) such that P(X ≤ t) = Z t −∞ fX(x)dx We generalize this to two random variables. Definition 1. Two random variables X and Y are jointly continuous if there is a function fX,Y (x,y) on R2, called the joint probability density function, such that P(X ≤ s,Y ≤ t) = Z Z ...
