Pt: Tool to computate the transition matrix for a Continuous Time Markov Chain, CTMC.

Description

Pt is used to obtain the transition matrix of a homogeneous continuous time Markov chain for a period of time of t.

Usage

Pt(R, t, epsilon)

Arguments

R

numeric, represents the rate matrix of a CTMC. Default value is 0.

t

numeric, represents the length of time.

epsilon

numeric, represents the error bound of the approximation of P(t). Default values is 0.01.
