## Returns expected hitting time from state i to state j

### Description

Returns expected hitting time from state i to state j

### Usage

    ExpectedTime(C,i,j,useRCpp)

### Arguments

`C` | A CTMC S4 object
`i` | Initial state i
`j` | Final state j
`useRCpp` | logical whether to use Rcpp

### Details

According to the theorem, holding times for all states except j should be greater than 0.

### Value

A numerical value that returns expected hitting times from i to j

### Examples

    states <- c("a","b","c","d")
    byRow <- TRUE
    gen <- matrix(data = c(-1, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 1/4, -1/2, 0, 1/4, 1/6, 0, -1/3, 1/6, 0, 0, 0, 0),
    nrow = 4,byrow = byRow, dimnames = list(states,states))
    ctmc <- new("ctmc",states = states, byrow = byRow, generator = gen, name = "testctmc")
    ExpectedTime(ctmc,1,4,TRUE)
