The detailed balance condition requires that for any two states and , the probability flow from to exactly equals the flow from to . This bidirectional equilibrium guarantees that the target distribution is stationary for the Markov chain.
Conditions: Must hold for all pairs of states and in the state space.; and are probabilities under the target distribution.; and are transition probabilities.
