Hi
Suppose you are given initial condition P0, and the transition matrix, P representing annual transitions. If you are asked to calculate the outcome in year 2, is it correct to calculate P0*(P^2) or P0*P ? My guess is the P0*(P^2) because P0 is the initial condition and it makes sense cause P0*P represents the outcome in year one. Anyone with comments?
