All matrices with negative or complex elements can be excluded and
those left can be ranked after certain criterias. The question if there
exist a transition matrix or not among the roots is still left
unanswered. My intuitive feeling is that there exists one
unique "correct" matrix after my experiments on 3x3 and 4x4 matrices
(calculations by hand).

If I have a transistion matrix and want to transform it to a longer
time horizon I take the n:th power of it (under certain assumptions).
