Pctmc

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

Software to facilitates taking movement data in xyt format and pairing it with raster covariates within a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) framework. As described in Hanks et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1214/14-AOAS803> , this allows flexible modeling of movement in response to covariates (or covariate gradients) with model fitting possible within a Poisson GLM framework.
