This class implements a simple Markov model, i.e. a kinetic model based on state diagrams in which the rates of state transitions are time-independent. The "value" of each state is a real number between 0 and 1 which represents the fraction of items (e.g., channels) in that state.

Since each state is stored as a real number and the model is implemented with differential equations, this class is not suitable for simulation of a single item or small number of items. For that purpose, a stochastic simulation class would be needed.
