Thanks very much for the amazing software. According to the article (Cell, 2009), 'The transition probability from PrD to background was set to 0.02 and the transition probability from background to PrD state was set to 0.001. Initial probabilities for PrD and background were set to 0.05 and 0.95, respectively.'

A domain is PrD is considered as a small probability event, I think it is the reason why initial probabilities were set to 0.05 and 0.95, respectively. But I am a little confused about how the transition probabilities were decided?
