We consider the parameter estimation of Markov chain when the unknown transition matrix
belongs to an exponential family of transition matrices. Then, we show that the sample mean
of the generator of the exponential family is an asymptotically efficient estimator. Further, we
also define a curved exponential family of transition matrices. Using a transition matrix
version of the Pythagorean theorem, we give an asymptotically efficient estimator for a
curved exponential family.
