This Steady State worksheet shows steady state results for the Markov Process. The Steady State (Time) distribution vector provides the proportion of the time the system will be found in each state. The Transition Time vector gives the expected time required to pass from a state to the next state. The Steady State (Steps) distribution vector provides the proportion of steps system will be found in each state. The two numbers on the right give steady state values of the unconditioned Expected Transition Time and the Average Cost Rate. With the costs used in this example, the average cost per period (minute) is the same as the expected number in the system.
