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.
