View source: R/Pctmc.R

Computes the transition matrix P(t) of a CTMC with given rate matrix (Q) and time (t).

1	Pctmc(Q,t)

`Q`	A square matrix. Either a rate matrix or the infinitessimal generator of the CTMC.
`t`	A numeric value - the time step.

Uses the method of homogenization to compute the probability transition matrix given by exp(Q*t).

A square matrix P with entries P[i,j]=Prob(X(t)=j|X(0)=i)
