RaTrav

RaTrav tool was designed to support computational biology studies where mean first-passage times (MFPTs) between initial and single or multiple final states in network-like systems are used. The tool approves arbitrary networks (graphs) where a dynamics of the Markovian type takes place. Two methods are made available for which their efficiency is strongly dependent on the topology of the defined network: the combinatorial Hill technique and the Monte Carlo simulation method.
