In chrisschwer/voterTransition-package: Tries to find a plausible voter transition matrix based on aggregate voting data

#' transitionAbsolute
#' 
#' Calculates the absolute values of the voter transitions, i.e. how many voters have actually shifted from one election to the next
#' @param Old m by n matrix of values for n choices in m districts
#' @param New m by p matrix of values for n choices in m districts
#' @param Transition n by b matrix of transition values, all should be positive,
#'   row sums should be one
#' @export
