摘要:For Markov chains that can be generated by iteration of i.i.d.\ random maps from the state space $X$ into itself (this holds if $X$ is Polish) it is shown that the Doeblin minorization condition is necessary and sufficient for the method by Propp and Wilson for ``perfect'' sampling from the stationary distribution $\pi$ to be successful. Using only the transition probability ${\bf P}$ we produce in a geometrically distributed random number of steps $N$ a ``perfect'' sample from $\pi$ of size $N!$.
