a logical indicating whether the underlying model includes hidden states. The default is FALSE.
rate.mat.index
A user-supplied rate matrix index to be manipulated.
drop.par
a vector of transitions to be dropped from the model.
eq.par
a vector of transitions pairs to be set equal.
Value
Returns a rate matrix index
Details
Outputs the full index of the rate parameters that are to be optimized. The intention is that a user might want to see how the matrix is designed prior to an analysis and perhaps drop a few parameters beforehand due to some hypothesis that he or she might have. The resulting matrix is to be plugged directly into hisse.
