check_transition_array checks if transition probabilities are valid. This checks that each of the rows of the transition matrices sum to one and that each of its entries are in \[0, 1\].

check_transition_array(a_P, n_states, n_t, err_stop = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

a_P

A transition probability array.

n_states

Number of health states.

n_t

Number of cycles.

err_stop

Logical variable to indicate stop process if error is found. Default = TRUE

verbose

Logical variable to indicate print out of messages. Default = TRUE

Value

This function stops if transition probability array is not valid and shows what are the entries that are not valid
