Markov-Bernoulli Chain
Consider the transition probability matrix of two states as given by ,
with the initial distribution and 
(i) For , the transition probability matrix is: , what does it mean?
(ii) For , the transition probability matrix is: , what does it mean?
(iii) For , again use the same fundamental principle where we can write
, where and . Here we can easily prove that and so for .
From this above result we easily get the following
(i) , in general the formulae would be
, depending on the number of states, i.e., we have a multinomial distribution.
(ii) ,
in general the formulae would be , depending on the number of states, i.e.,we have a multinomial distribution.
(iii)
Now we already know that



, hence 
If we extend this calculation for we can easily see that
(iv) and for  |
