Question:

For any infinite sequence x1, x2, we say that a new long run begins each time the sequence changes direction. That is, if the sequence starts 5, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 3, 4, then there are three long runs-namely, (5, 2), (4, 5, 6, 9), and (3, 4) Let X, X2,... be independent uniform (0, 1) random variables and let I, denote the initial value of the nth long run. Argue that {I, n 1} is a Markov chain having a continuous state space with transition probability density given by p(yx) ee* - ely-x-1. =
