For a Markov Process with Absorbing States, We Define Π(J)

question 37

Multiple Choice

For a Markov process with absorbing states, we define Π(j) = state vector at stage j N = fundamental matrix
I = identity matrix
Q = matrix of transition probabilities between non-absorbing states
R = matrix of transition probabilities between non-absorbing states and absorbing states
The limiting state probabilities equal:

• A)Π(1) * N * R
• B)I * R * Q
• C)(I - Q)^-1
• D)Π(1) * N * Q
