Stochastic Matrix
A Stochastic matrix is the transition matrix for a finite Markov Chain, also called a Markov Matrix. Elements of the matrix must be Real Numbers in the Closed Interval [0, 1].
A completely independent type of stochastic matrix is defined as a Square Matrix with entries in a Field 
suchthat the sum of elements in each column equals 1. There are two nonsingular 
StochasticMatrices over 
(i.e., the integers mod 2),
There are six nonsingular stochastic
Matrices over 
,
In fact, the set
of all nonsingular stochastic 
matrices over a Field forms a Groupunder Matrix Multiplication. This Group is called the Stochastic Group.See also Markov Chain, Stochastic Group
