A time reversion of a Markov process was discussed by Kolmogoroff for Markov chains in 1936 [6] and for a diffusion in 1937 [7l He described it as a process having an adjoint transition probability. Although his treatment is purely analytical, in his case if the process xt has an invariant distribution, the reversed process zt = x-t is the process with the adjoint transition probability. In this discussion, however, it is very restrictive that the initial distribution of the process must be an invariant measure.
