successful_transitions function

Find the unique possible path until an absorbing state

From a unique_paths object that shows all possible paths until absorption from an initial state, successful_transitions picks the path that finishes in to_state, if there is one. The initial state is the one defined in the argument from_state

to the function unique_paths. The process must have a tree-like structure.

successful_transitions(unique_paths_object, to_state, tmat)

Arguments

• unique_paths_object: An object created by running unique_paths.
• to_state: An absorbing state.
• tmat: Transition matrix.

Returns

A vector with the unique sequence of states between two states.
