4 Markov Chai? Stochastic process that takes values i a coutable set Example: {0,1,2,,m}, or {0,1,2, } Elemets represet possible states Chai trasits from state to state Memoryless (Markov) Property: Give the preset state, future trasitios of the chai are idepedet of past history Markov Chais: discrete- or cotiuous- time

6 Discrete-Time Markov Chai Discrete-time stochastic process {X : = 0,1,2, } Takes values i {0,1,2, } Memoryless property: P { X = j X = i, X = i,..., X = i } = P { X = j X = i } P = P{ X = j X = i} ij + 1 Trasitio probabilities P ij P ij 0, P = 1 j= 0 ij Trasitio probability matrix P=[P ij ]

7 Chapma-Kolmogorov Equatios step trasitio probabilities P = P{ X = j X = i},, m 0, i, j 0 ij + m m How to calculate? Chapma-Kolmogorov equatios P ij + m m ij ik kj k= 0 P = P P,, m 0, i, j 0 is elemet (i, j) i matrix P Recursive computatio of state probabilities

8 State Probabilities Statioary Distributio State probabilities (time-depedet) π = P{ X = j}, π = (π,π,...) j 0 1 I matrix form: 1 = = 1 = = 1 = j = i ij i= 0 i= 0 P{ X j} P{ X i} P{ X j X i} π π P π = π P = π P =... = π P If time-depedet distributio coverges to a limit π = limπ π = πp π is called the statioary distributio (or steady state distributio) existece depeds o the structure of Markov chai

9 Classificatio of Markov Chais Irreducible: States i ad j commuicate: Aperiodic: State i is periodic: m, m : P > 0, P > 0 d > 1: P > 0 = αd ij ji Irreducible Markov chai: all Aperiodic Markov chai: oe of states commuicate the states is periodic ii

10 Limit Theorems Theorem 1: Irreducible aperiodic Markov chai For every state j, the followig limit π = lim P{ X = j X = i}, i = 0,1,2,... j exists ad is idepedet of iitial state i N j (k): umber of visits to state j up to time k N j( k) P π j = lim X 0 = i = 1 k k =>π j : frequecy the process visits state j 0

11 Existece of Statioary Distributio Theorem 2: Irreducible aperiodic Markov chai. There are two possibilities for scalars: π = lim P{ X = j X = i} = lim P j 0 ij 1. π j = 0, for all states j No statioary distributio 2. π j > 0, for all states j π is the uique statioary distributio Remark: If the umber of states is fiite, case 2 is the oly possibility

12 Ergodic Markov Chais A state j is positive recurret if the process returs to state j ifiitely ofte Formal defiitio: F ij () ( 1): the probability, give X 0 = i, that state j occurs at some time betwee 1 ad iclusive T ij : the first passage time from i to j A state j is recurret (or persistet) if F jj ( ) = 1, ad trasiet otherwise A state j is positive recurret (or o-ull persistet) if F jj ( ) = 1 ad E(T jj ) < A state j is ull recurret (or ull persistet) if F jj ( ) = 1 but E(T jj ) = Note: positive recurret => irreducible always hold, but irreducible => positive recurret is guarateed to hold oly for fiite MC

13 Ergodic MC (cotd.) Example: a MC with coutably ifiite state space p p p p p p q q = 1-p q q q q q All states are positive recurret if p < ½, ull recurret if p = ½, ad trasiet if p > ½ A state is ergodic if it is aperiodic ad positive recurret A MC is ergodic if every state is ergodic Ergodic chais have a uique statioary distributio π j = 1/E(T jj ), j = 0, 1, 2, Note: Ergodicity Time Averages = Stochastic Averages

15 Calculatio of Statioary Distributio A. Fiite umber of states B. Ifiite umber of states Solve explicitly the system of Caot apply previous methods to equatios problem of ifiite dimesio m π = π P, j = 0,1,..., m j i ij i = 0 m j ipij πi = 1 i= 0 i= 0 πi = 1 i= 0 Or, umerically from P which coverges to a matrix with rows equal to π Suitable for a small umber of states Guess a solutio to recurrece: π = π, j = 0,1,...,

16 Example: Fiite Markov Chai Abset-mided professor uses two umbrellas whe commutig betwee home ad office. If it rais ad a umbrella is Markov chai formulatio i is the umber of umbrellas available at her curret locatio 1 p available at her locatio, she p takes it. If it does ot rai, she 1 p p always forgets to take a umbrella. Trasitio matrix Let p be the probability of rai P = 0 1 p p each time she commutes. 1 p p 0 Q: What is the probability that she gets wet o ay give day?

17 Example: Fiite Markov Chai 1 p p 1 p p P = 0 1 p p 1 p p 0 π 0 = (1 p)π2 π = πp π = (1 p)π + pπ 1 p 1 1 π,π,π π = 1 p 3 3 p 3 p = 1 = 2 = π2 π0 π i i = + 1 p π0 + π1 + π2 = 1 1 p P{gets wet} = π0 p = p 3 p

18 Example: Fiite Markov Chai Takig p = 0.1: 1 p 1 1 π =,, = 0.310, 0.345, p 3 p 3 p P = ( ) Numerically determie limit of P lim P = ( 150) Effectiveess depeds o structure of P

25 Example: Discrete-Time Queue I a time-slot, oe packet arrival with probability p or zero arrivals with probability 1-p I a time-slot, the packet i service departs with probability q or stays with probability 1-q Idepedet arrivals ad service times State: umber of packets i system p p(1 q) p p(1 q) (1 p) q(1 p) q(1 p) (1 p)(1 q) + pq q(1 p) (1 p)(1 q) + pq
