Returns a generator matrix corresponding to frequency matrix

The function provides interface to calculate generator matrix corresponding to a frequency matrix and time taken

freq2Generator(P, t = 1, method = "QO", logmethod = "Eigen")

Arguments

P	relative frequency matrix
t	(default value = 1)
method	one among "QO"(Quasi optimaisation), "WA"(weighted adjustment), "DA"(diagonal adjustment)
logmethod	method for computation of matrx algorithm (by default : Eigen)

Value

returns a generator matix with same dimnames
