{{Short description|Concept in probability theory}}
In [[probability theory]], a '''Markov kernel''' (also known as a '''stochastic kernel''' or '''probability kernel''') is a map that in the general theory of [[Markov process]]es plays the role that the [[Stochastic matrix|transition matrix]] does in the theory of Markov processes with a [[finite set|finite]] [[state space]].<ref>{{Cite book | last1 = Reiss | first1 = R.
