L26.7 Expected Time to Absorption

[@saurabhagarwal2830]

This is one of the clearest explanations of number of expected hops in a Markov chain to get to an absorbing state
Great video!

Thank you very much Professor. The explanation is in detail, and at a pace , even a novice can understand. Thanks.

Great Explanation!!!

[@peterren5409]

Thank you for your video! How do I find the variance of such random variable? So far we've found mean.

I have to say there is a problem in this video. You can literally calculate the absorption time when absorption take place at a specific absorbing state. It is called Conditional Mean Absorption Time and Kemeny & Snell have already talked about such problem in theirs classic textbook.

[@zer1230]

can't we say that since the prob of staying in 5 is 1,then the number of tran we need to get to 4 is zero since we cant get out of 5?

[@nileshkharat236]

No. Number of transition being 0 would mean that we are starting in the absorbing state.
