description = {Markov chains with almost exponential hitting times},
abstract = {If a Markov chain converges rapidly to stationarity, then the time until the first hit on a rarely-visited set of states is approximately exponentially distributed; moreover an explicit bound for the error in this approximation can be given. This complements results of Keilson.},
