From: Chris Pine Date: 2003-04-19T02:24:36+09:00 Subject: Re: Biased weighted random? There may be more than 1 transition matrix which works. For a distribution of (0.4, 0.3, 0.3), there are at least these two: | 0, 0.5, 0.5 | | .67, 0, .33 | | .67, .33, 0 | | 0, .25, .75 | | 1, 0, 0 | | .33, .67, 0 | I found a way to find them all given rational probabilities, but it's SLOW! Also, I still don't know when it will and won't work without trying all possibilities. I'll try to clean it up, Chris
