Re: Markov chains

Did you try it for 10?

Yes, I did.

Re: Markov chains

p[-4] = 0;
p[-3] = 0;
p[-2] = 0;
p[-1] = 0;
p[0] = 1;
p[n_] := p[n] = 1/5 (p[n - 1] + p[n - 2] + p[n - 3] + p[n - 4] + p[n - 5])
p[10]

Re: Markov chains

Why p[10]? How does that get the long term probability of 10?

I'm not sure what you are asking.

See you later.

Now how do you get P(11) and the rest?

Re: Markov chains

Yes, but you did not ask for one.

Wouldn't a Markov chain be quite big here (15 entries).

Re: Markov chains

The matrix is easy to find, so that isn't a problem. What is the next one?

Re: Markov chains

It would mean something is wrong. But since I'm vry lazy, I will just take your word on this one. That matrix is huge.

It can, but both methods are easily adjustible.
