A while back I wrote a blog post explaining Markov chains and demonstrating different ways of finding their steady-state distribution in R. Now, I want to play with Markov chains as a graph. I’m going to pull examples from around the internet and answer the same questions in Cypher as the authors do with matrices. This gives me the opportunity to explore more advanced Cypher queries while working with a topic I enjoy very much (stochastic processes and Markov chains). So this is officially just for funsies.
I found three Markov chains online that I’m going to showcase, and they involve the following topics:
