Application of a Markov chain Model on the popular transformation between the cities of (Nineva, Saladean, Tameem) for the period 1977-1997

In this paper we study the migration of population among the three Iraqi cities: Nineva , Saladean, Tameem by considering these this migrations as a Markov chain with three states which represent the transitions among these cities .We obtain a transition matrix (3x3) to represent these states and we obtain that this chain is Ergodic and we find the mean and the variance of the waiting time ,the time between consecutive transition and the duration of an excursion at each state.
