rexpokit: R Wrappers for EXPOKIT; Other Matrix Functions
Wraps some of the matrix exponentiation
utilities from EXPOKIT (<http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/expokit/>),
a FORTRAN library that is widely recommended for matrix
exponentiation (Sidje RB, 1998. "Expokit: A Software Package
for Computing Matrix Exponentials." ACM Trans. Math. Softw.
24(1): 130-156). EXPOKIT includes functions for
exponentiating both small, dense matrices, and large, sparse
matrices (in sparse matrices, most of the cells have value 0).
Rapid matrix exponentiation is useful in phylogenetics when we
have a large number of states (as we do when we are inferring
the history of transitions between the possible geographic
ranges of a species), but is probably useful in other ways as
well. NOTE: In case FORTRAN checks temporarily get rexpokit
archived on CRAN, see archived binaries at GitHub in:
nmatzke/Matzke_R_binaries (binaries install without compilation
of source code).
