genmarkov - generates random markov matrix with recurrent and transient classes

### Calling Sequence

  `M=genmarkov(rec,tr)`
  `M=genmarkov(rec,tr,flag)`

### Parameters

- `rec` : integer row vector (its dimension is the number of recurrent classes).
- `tr` : integer (number of transient states)
- `M` : real Markov matrix. Sum of entries in each row should add to one.
- `flag` : string `'perm'` . If given, a random permutation of the states is done.

### Description

Returns in M a random Markov transition probability matrix with `size(rec,1)` recurrent classes with `rec(1),...rec($)` entries respectively and tr transient states.

### Examples

    //P has two recurrent classes (with 2 and 1 states) 2 transient states
    P=genmarkov([2,1],2,'perm')
    [perm,rec,tr,indsRec,indsT]=classmarkov(P);
    P(perm,perm)
