Provide an appropriate response.Suppose that a Markov chain has the following transition matrix. Clearly, state 3 is an absorbing state. So, why isn't the Markov chain an absorbing chain?
What will be an ideal response?
There is no way of entering the absorbing state (i.e., state 3) from either of the nonabsorbing states (1 and 2). The requirement is actually that it be possible to go (eventually) from ANY nonabsorbing state to SOME absorbing state. This requirement is not met.
