Researchers have developed a new method for evaluating policies in Markov chains, addressing limitations of existing techniques. The approach utilizes the real peripheral invariant subspace of the transition matrix to uniquely decompose reward signals. This decomposition separates persistent regime profiles from transient components, leading to a more stable and informative estimator for finite-horizon returns and average rewards. AI
