Annotation
Determines a matrix of thresholds on the number of agents, and queue size, which is used to speed up simulation. When the number of busy agents and queue size is below such a vector of thresholds, a lower transition rate can be used instead of the regular rate, and several successive self jumps can often be generated from a single random number. Each row of the given matrix must correspond to a vector giving the threshold on the number of agents in each group, and on the queue size, for state space partitioning in order to use adaptive transition rate. The first I columns of the matrix concern agent groups, while the last column concerns the waiting queue.

If element i=0,...,I-1 for a given vector of thresholds is greater than the maximal number of agents in group i given by the `maxNumAgents` element, or if element I is greater than the queue capacity set in the model, the vector is ignored. Moreover, a vector with thresholds corresponding to the maximal number of agents and queue capacity is added if not given by the user.

If this element is omitted, no state space partitioning is used. If a single occurrence of this element is present, the given matrix of thresholds is used for all main periods of the model. Otherwise, there must be P occurrences of this element, one for each main period. Occurrence p for p=0,...,P-1 is then used for main period p.
