Splits a projection matrix into transition and fertility matrices where
A = T + F
splitA(A, r = 1, c = -1)
A list with T and F matrices
a projection matrix
rows containing fertilities (default is first row) OR a logical matrix where TRUE is the location of a fertility value OR a complete fertility matrix
columns containing fertilities, default is all columns except first

use splitA
to split the matrix
splitA(whale)
# teasel -fertilitiles in last column
splitA(teasel, r=1:6, c=6)
# hudsonia - fertilities in first two columns
A <- hudsonia[[1]]
splitA(A, r=1:2)
## example using a logical matrix (if fertilities were in the upper diagonal)
splitA(A, row(A)
