public final class Ctmc_passage_time extends Object
Cumulative distribution and density of the first passage time into a target state set: F(t) = 1 - alpha exp(St) 1 and f(t) = alpha exp(St) s0.

The method is "expm" (default) or "lt". The transform route exists for chains whose non-target block is too large for a dense exp(St), NOT because it needs fewer time points: every Abate-Whitt inverter places its nodes at s = beta/t, so a grid of T points costs T*|beta| solves. On a small chain "expm" is both faster and more accurate, which is why it is the default.
