More explanation would help. Where do the weights come from? Do they
weight the transitions? The earlier state? The later state? Are they
integers or not? What is your data structure? Which variables hold
which information? Do you expect a precise answer to a vague question?

At its easiest, this sounds like a transition matrix multiplied
elementwise by a weights matrix, so save the matrices independently
and do the multiplication in Mata.
