i think i have asked this before. But if it is not a transition matrix what makes it different to a transition matrix other then columns adding to 1. is their still a steady state solution with a non transition matrix? what else is not a feature..
thanks
I don't entirely understand your question but a transition matrix must be :
1- square
2- add up to one , as u mentioned
3- include proportions( as in it has to be in decimals, which must equal to one )
4- it should be able to be used in predictions
I think that's it , u probably already know all this , but nonetheless I hope that I helped
Oh and to the second part of ur question , no I don't think any other matrix will give a steady state - it only makes sense that way , well at least I was never told so .
