[R] Stochastic (transition) matrices: how to determine distributions and variance?

2009-08-30 Thread Jonathan Greenberg
(apologies for the cross-posting, and for this being a more general stats question rather than a specific-to-R one. I assure you I will be doing the actual analysis in R :) I am trying to determine the distribution and variance for a classic stochastic (transition) matrix problem such that:
