Calculates the asymptotic distribution from an initial distribution vector (V) and a markov movement matrix (M) (rows sum to 1)

Calculates the asymptotic distribution from an initial distribution vector (V) and a markov movement matrix (M) (rows sum to 1).

CalcAsymptoticDist(M, V = NULL, nits = 50, plot = F)

`M`	A square markov movement matrix M of nareas rows and nareas columns (rows sum to 1)
`V`	An optional vector nareas long of initial fractions by area (if unspecified the calculation will start from a uniform distribution)
`nits`	An integer number of iterations for multiplying V by M to get the asymptotic distribution (~50 is usually enough)
`plot`	Should the convergence to a stable distribution be plotted?
