Path Entropy

Description

Computes the entropy of particles passing through the whole network of compartments for a model at equilibrium

Usage

pathEntropy(A, u)

Arguments

A

A constant compartmental square matrix with cycling rates in the diagonal and transfer rates in the off-diagonal.

u

A one-column matrix defining the amount of inputs per compartment.

Value

A scalar value with the path entropy
