This is a wrapper around msm::MatrixExp()
that computes the exponential
of multiple square matrices.
expmat(x, t = 1, ...)
Returns an array of exponentiated matrices. If length(t) > 1
, then
length(t)
arrays are returned for each element in x
.
An array of matrices.
An optional scaling factor for x
.
Arguments to pass to msm::MatrixExp()
.
This function is most useful when exponentiating transition intensity
matrices to produce transition probability matrices. To create transition
probability matrices for discrete time state transition models with annual
cycles, set t=1
. An array of matrices is returned which can be used
to create the value
element of a tparams_transprobs
object. See
qmatrix()
for an example.
