addStateMatrix(newMatrix, oldMatrix,
               stateName=paste("state", after+1, sep=" "),
               after=dim(oldMatrix)[1], newCell="NULL")

`newMatrix`	an empty matrix with one more row and one more column than the old
`oldMatrix`	a matrix to which we are adding a new state;
`stateName`	the name of the state to be added;
`after`	the number of the state after which a new state should be added
`newCell`	the value in the state to be added;

newMatrix a matrix created by adding a new state with the value newCell to the old matrix

M <- generateHazardMatrix(5)
largeM <- generateHazardMatrix(6)
oldM <- M@list.matrix
newM <- largeM@list.matrix
M_addedState <- addStateMatrix(newM, oldM, stateName ="newState", after =3, newCell=0)
