prob140.MarkovChain.from_transition_function

classmethod MarkovChain.from_transition_function(states, transition_function)

Constructs a MarkovChain from a transition function.

Parameters:

states : iterable

List of states.

transition_function : function

Bivariate transition function that maps two states to a probability.

Returns:

MarkovChain

Examples

>>> states = make_array(1, 2)
>>> def transition(s1, s2):
...    if s1 == s2:
...        return 0.7
...    else:
...        return 0.3
>>> MarkovChain.from_transition_function(states, transition)
     1    2
1  0.7  0.3
2  0.3  0.7
