Please imagine a discrete random walk on a one-dimensional lattice.  The lattice consists of a set of $L$ positions, $(x_0, x_1, ..., x_L) \in L$, where $x_0$ is the initial position of the walk (as well as a reflecting boundary), and $x_L$ is absorbing.  

For each position in the walk, we randomly assign one of $N$ jump probabilities (forward, $p_k$, backward, $(1-p_k)$) from a set $P$, where $(p_1, p_2, ..., p_N) \in P$.
 
For the duration of the random walk, until the absorbing target $x_L$ is reached, what is the mean occupancy of the a given position in the one-dimensional lattice, $x_k$?
