... probability of that event is simply the sum ofthe probabilities ofthe comprising events. For the fair coin toss experiment the probability of any event is easily given. Namely, because the ... if the outcome ofthe experiment is one ofthe elements in A. Since events are sets, we can apply the usual set operations to them. For example, the event A U B, called the union of A ... T. Then, combining (1.33) and (1.35), we have T(,) = T. Thus, if the initial distribution ofthe Markov chain is equal to the limiting distribution, then the distribution of Xt is the...
