  • Method Details

    • getUniqueName

      String getUniqueName()
      Returns:
      a short unique human-readable identifier for this rate matrix.
    • getDimension

      int getDimension()
      Returns:
      the dimension of this rate matrix.
    • getEquilibriumFrequencies

      double[] getEquilibriumFrequencies()
      Returns:
      stationary frequencies (sum = 1.0)
    • getEquilibriumFrequency

      double getEquilibriumFrequency(int i)
      Returns:
      stationary frequency (sum = 1.0) for ith state Preferred method for infrequent use.
    • getSequenceType

      SequenceType getSequenceType()
      Get the data type of this rate matrix
    • getRelativeRates

      double[][] getRelativeRates()
      Returns:
      rate matrix (transition: from 1st index to 2nd index)
    • getTransitionProbability

      double getTransitionProbability(int fromState, int toState)
      Parameters:
      fromState - The state from which we are starting
      toState - The resulting state
      Returns:
      the probability of going from one state to another given the current distance
    • getTransitionProbabilities

      void getTransitionProbabilities(double[][] probabilityStore)
      A utility method for speed, transfers trans prob information quickly into store.
    • setDistance

      void setDistance(double distance)
      Sets the distance (such as time/branch length) used when calculating the probabilities. This method may well take the most time!
