Hi,
I want to simulate from Markov Chain Discrete Algorithm and my transition
matrix is:
The probability transition matrix
trans = matrix(c(0.8,0.05,0.05,0,
0.05,0.80,0.055,
0.05,0.05,0.81, 0, 0.05, 0.095, 0, 0.81), ncol=4, byrow=TRUE);
The Initiate Values are based on some conditions:
State 1 at time 0: >50 lb for women
State 1 at time 0: >80 lb for men
State 2 at time 0: <=50 lb for women
State 2 at time 0: <=80 lb for men
State 3 and 4 at the beginning are Zeros.
There are two things that I'm not sure how to approach.
1. How to convert initiate values at state 1 and 2 to probability?
2.How to consider Gender into the chain?
Thanks a lot.
