python - Making histogram out of matrix entries? -

today task make histogram represent operation of a^n matrix, specific entries in matrix.

for example, have matrix rows sum one. first entry specific decimal number. however, if raise matrix 2nd power, first entry becomes else, , if raise matrix 3rd power, changes again, etc - ad nauseum, , that's need plot.

right attempt create empty list, , use loop add entries result matrix multiplication list. however, print result final matrix multiplication list, rather printing value @ each iteration.

here's specific bit of code i'm talking about:

print("the intial probability matrix.")  print(tabulate(matrix))  baseprob = []  in range(1000):       matrix_n = numpy.linalg.matrix_power(matrix, s)       baseprob.append(matrix_n.item(0))  print(baseprob)  print("the final probability matrix.")  print(tabulate(matrix_n)) 

here full code, output got.

of course prints final value, doing same operation, matrix^s, 1000 times. need have s change each of 1000 times.

if want calculate values in location matrix(0) matrix^i i each value 1 s (your final power) do:

baseprob = []  in range(1,s): #changed range 1-s instead of 1000       #must use loop variable here, not s (s same)      matrix_n = numpy.linalg.matrix_power(matrix, i)       baseprob.append(matrix_n.item(0)) 

then baseprob hold matrix(0) matrix^1, matrix^2, etc. way matrix^s.
