Description

At the moment, with properties, we see no documentation:

In [9]: import quantecon as qe

In [10]: m = qe.MarkovChain([[1, 0], [0, 1]])

In [11]: m.stationary_distributions?
Type:        property
String form: <property object at 0x7f34106c45e8>
Docstring:   <no docstring>

However, as @cc7768 pointed out, it is possible to get documentation to show up here but adding docstrings to the functions associated with the property.

Research direction

Start by locating the MarkovChain implementation and its stationary_distributions property. Inspect the functions associated with the property and the documentation shown by interactive help. Done means the relevant property documentation is displayed instead of .
