Abstract

Random Walks Samplings are important method to analyze any kind of network; it allows knowing the network’s state any time, independently of the node from which the random walk starts. In this work, we have implemented a random walk of this type on a Markov Chain Network through Metropolis-Hastings Random Walks algorithm. This algorithm is an efficient method of sampling because it ensures that all nodes can be sampled with a uniform probability. We have determinate the required number of rounds of a random walk to ensuring the steady state of the network system. We concluded that, to determinate the correct number of rounds with which the system will find the steady state it is necessary start the random walk from different nodes, selected analytically, especially looking for nodes that may have random walks critics.
