Description: Functions and S4 methods to create and manage discrete
        time Markov chains more easily. In addition functions to
        perform statistical (fitting and drawing random variates) and
        probabilistic (analysis of their structural proprieties)
        analysis are provided. See Spedicato (2017)
        <doi:10.32614/RJ-2017-036>. Some functions for continuous times
        Markov chains depend on the suggested ctmcd package.
