In what follows, these four approaches will guide the ...

The chapter ends with an algebraic treatment of the general kxk transition matrix . P. If . P. is symmetric, you can base the analysis on a standard result from linear algebra: Theorem: If . A. is a kxk symmetric matrix, then there is an orthogonal matrix . S, whose rows are eigenvectors of . A, and a diagonal matrix whose elements are the ... ................
