TransitionParam {VanillaICE} | R Documentation

## Constructor for TransitionParam class

### Description

Contains parameters for computing transition probabilities

### Usage

    TransitionParam(taup = 1e+10, taumax = 1 - 5e+06)

    ## S4 method for signature 'TransitionParam'
    show(object)

### Arguments

`taup` | length-one numeric vector
`taumax` | The maximum probability that the current state is the same as the preceding state. See details
`object` | a `TransitionParam` object

### Details

Diagonal elements of the transition probability matrix are computed as e^-2*d/taup, where d is the distance between markers i and i-1 and `taup` is typically in the range of 1xe10. This probability is constrained to be no larger than `taumax`. The probabilities on the off-diagonal elements are the same and are subject to the constraint that the rows of the transition probability matrix sum to 1.

### Examples

    TransitionParam()
    ## higher values of taup make transitions between states less likely
    TransitionParam(taup=1e12)
