	Matrix of Change
		The advantage of the transition matrix is that it shows the interactions involved in moving from existing practices to a clean slate.
		A subset of the transition matrix may be opposing between the existing and target processes.
		The transition matrix, emerging from the combination between the horizontal and the vertical matrices, helps determine the degree of difficulty in shifting from the current state to the future state.

		Transition probabilities are commonly based on frequency distributions or tabulations of the number of transitions from each state to each other state in the system under consideration.
		The matrix then gives the limit at which the probabilities of passing from one state to another are independent of the starting state, and the fixed probability vector expresses the equilibrium proportions of the various states.
		For example, it may not be possible to observe sufficient transitions from a given transient set of states to a closed state where this transition is dependent on a rare climatic event, even though the value of this parameter is of vital importance in the dynamics of the community.

	Stochastic matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, especially in probability theory and statistics, and also in linear algebra and computer science, a stochastic matrix is a square matrix whose columns are probability vectors, i.e., the entries in each column are nonnegative real numbers whose sum is 1.
		It is the same thing as the matrix of transition probabilities of a finite Markov chain.
		If G is a stochastic matrix, then a steady-state vector or equilibrium vector for G is a probability vector h such that:

	The Matrix of Change:
		A subset of the transition matrix used at MacroMed (Figure 3) illustrates important interactions between existing and target practices, a large majority of which are opposing.
		The Matrix of Change helps managers identify important assumptions implicit in their work organization, but they must keep in mind that key components of any system may remain unmodeled, allowing unexpected barriers to surface in the midst of the change process.
		Given the number of competing practices in the transition region, it is not surprising that, for this type of change, reengineering projects that implement only a handful of features have difficulty reaching their goals.

		It is also assumed that the empirically observed one-period transition matrix is as shown in Table -1 and that the amount recovered in case of default is 40% of the face value of the bond.
		Note that the M-period risk-neutral transition matrix is not the Mth power of the 1-period matrix.
		Since default is an absorbing state, the risk-neutral transition matrix indicates that the probability of migrating to any other state from a state of default is zero.

	anthony.liekens.net >> Work >> Finite Markov Models
		This theorem from discrete mathematics shows that if transition probability matrix Q is ergodic, then there exists a unique stochastic eigenvector of this matrix with corresponding eigenvalue such that this eigenvector is the fixed point or limiting distribution over the states of the system, independent of the initial distribution.
		In a similar context, if it can be shown for a transition matrix that all of its elements are strictly positive, than the matrix is irreducible and aperiodic, and thus ergodic.
		Transient behavior can be studied by multiplying the transition matrix with an initial distribution over the states, and the limiting or fixed point distribution of ergodic Markov models can be determined by computing the system's unique stochastic eigenvector with eigenvalue 1.

		This means that all powers of this matrix are going to have the 0 in the right upper corner, so the transition matrix is not regular.
		Squaring this matrix results in a matrix which has no entry equal to 0, so the transition matrix is regular.
		Since the transition matrix is regular we can conclude that the average distribution of the tankers on the two states approximates the stable vector after a sufficient time has passed.

	Landscape Ecology: Simple Models (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As with the transition matrix, it is customary to relativize this state vector into proportions of the landscape, by dividing each element by the number of cells in the landscape map.
		With the construction of the transition matrix P and the state vector x, the changes observed on the landscape have been summarized as a first-order Markov chain, a simple model of landscape change.
		The transition matrix would then contain conditional probabilities; that is, the probability of a cell of type i changing to type j depends on some condition k.

		Moreover, the transition probabilities of moving from a one state to another, which are the basis of the model computations, are dependent only upon the starting state of any transition, rather than upon how that state was reached.
		The main advantage of this method is that it combines all transitions in one matrix, which enables the easiest calculation of expected runs values corresponding to run scoring in actual games.
		If all transition probabilities in S change the batter, then the appropriate power is the sixth because after six more batters either the inning will be over with no additional runs scored or at least one more run will have scored.

		It might be more proper to generate the transition matrix from the credit spreads and not the other way around.
		The range of spreads within the ratings buckets was so large that after doing the transition matrix algorithm based on ratings you would still be left with a big random factor.

		This information is expressed in terms of a ‘transition matrix’ - a matrix that traces out the probabilities the migration of a firm’s credit rating.
		Ascertaining the risk-neutral transition matrices is critical in this framework, where the payoff depends on the credit rating of a certain party.
		However, when it comes to the pricing of bonds with embedded prepayment options, the demarcation between credit rating upgradation as a trigger for the exercise of the option and interest rate decline as the trigger for the exercise of the option is not very clear.

		Using expansion of the log of transition matrix is perfectly OK. I did it in my implementation of the JLT model, and found that retaining about 10-15 terms in the expansion already gives a reasonable accuracy.
		accuracy of estimating the transition matrix itself is pretty low, and there is not much point in trying to reach a high precision.
		You won't have this problem if your transition matrix is well-behaved, diagonally dorminant, say.

		The random walk defined by a stochastic matrix is called a Markov chain; the stochastic matrix is its transition matrix.
		Each matrix element in column (a) is the matrix product of a row vector from column (b) and a column vector from column (c).
		Each 4-step transition can be written as a 3-step transition followed by a 1-step transition, or, as a 2-step transition followed by another 2-step transition, or, as a 1-step transition followed by a 3-step transition.

		A convenient method for estimating the variance-covariance matrix of the moment estimator relies on the delta method, requiring the partial derivatives - that is, the Jacobian matrix - of the estimating moment function.
		An approximation is derived to the covariance matrix of the estimators of the fixed regression coefficients (for variables at the lower and the higher level) under the assumption that the sample sizes at either level are large enough.
		The elements of the dyad transition matrix, indicating the numbers of dyads of some particular type (mutual, asymmetric, of null) at time I, and of some (same or other) type at time II, are proposed as possible test statistics.

	Applications of Matrix multiplication – Transition Matrices
		As discussed in lecture, there is a matrix procedure that is extremely useful for describing processes in which there are a finite number of states with fixed, prescribed percentages of objects within each state initially, some of which then transition to another of these states.
		For example, the states may be "lower class", "middle class" and "upper class" in a discussion of the economics of a given economy.
		Since the entries in this matrix are percentages of people in each of the initial states, the entries in this matrix should always add up to 100%.

		Note also that the transition matrix is such that the rows are "From" and the columns are "To" in terms of the state transitions.
		This is not to say that transitions between states do not take place, they do, but they "balance out" so that the number in each state remains the same.
		Here the transition matrix we have derived above does give us further insight into the situation - we can see for example that customers of company 2 (state 2) are very loyal (94% remain with that company at each time period).
