if check=TRUE, control messages will be generated

### it takes several min to build sim.object (depends on the number of genes 'nrgenes') ###

sim.object = DTA.dynamic.generate(duration = 36,lab.duration = 6,nrgenes = nrgenes,mu.values.mat = mu.values.mat,mu.breaks.mat = mu.breaks.mat,lambda.values.mat = lambda.values.mat,lambda.breaks.mat = lambda.breaks.mat)

### for control plots set 'check = TRUE' ###

res = DTA.dynamic.estimate(simulation = TRUE,sim.object = sim.object,check = FALSE)
