thank you. I did not think about the case of overlapping of 1's from the end of one column to the start of the next, this would actually be a problem
In the simulations I am running each column corresponds to the path followed by an agent across states of a stochastic process, so I would like to avoid mixing up two different paths (I made a mistake when I mentioned the possibility of turning my matrix into a vector, sorry about that). can I kindly ask again your help on this? please excuse me.
