eigenmarkov =========== normalized left and right Markov eigenvectors Calling Sequence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: [M,Q]=eigenmarkov(P) Arguments ~~~~~~~~~ :P real N x N Markov matrix. Sum of entries in each row should add to one. : :M real matrix with N columns. : :Q real matrix with N rows. : Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Returns normalized left and right eigenvectors associated with the eigenvalue 1 of the Markov transition matrix P. If the multiplicity of this eigenvalue is m and P is N x N, M is a m x N matrix and Q a N x m matrix. M(k,:) is the probability distribution vector associated with the kth ergodic set (recurrent class). M(k,x) is zero if x is not in the k-th recurrent class. Q(x,k) is the probability to end in the k-th recurrent class starting from x. If `P^k` converges for large `k` (no eigenvalues on the unit circle except 1), then the limit is `Q*M` (eigenprojection). Examples ~~~~~~~~ :: //P has two recurrent classes (with 2 and 1 states) 2 transient states P=`genmarkov`_([2,1],2) [M,Q]=eigenmarkov(P); P*Q-Q Q*M-P^20 See Also ~~~~~~~~ + `genmarkov`_ generates random markov matrix with recurrent and transient classes + `classmarkov`_ recurrent and transient classes of Markov matrix .. _genmarkov: genmarkov.html .. _classmarkov: classmarkov.html
