Stationary-distribution calibration for a two-state chain
Compare a known stationary distribution with matrix iteration and occupation frequencies from a deterministic-seed Markov-chain simulation.
Proposed original example. Source release and any execution are separate steps.
Do the two computational routes approach the same analytical stationary distribution?
Use the two-state formula [q/(p+q),p/(p+q)], retaining the burn-in and the warning that chain samples are correlated.
