For a Markov Process with Absorbing States, We Define Π(J)

Multiple Choice

For a Markov process with absorbing states, we define Π(j) = state vector at stage j N = fundamental matrix
I = identity matrix
Q = matrix of transition probabilities between non-absorbing states
R = matrix of transition probabilities between non-absorbing states and absorbing states
The limiting state probabilities equal:

A) Π(1) * N * R
B) I * R * Q
C) (I - Q) ^-1
D) Π(1) * N * Q
