Does the number of transitions take into account EACH progress coordinate calculated in a single iteration?
So then, what are the datasets in direct.h5 giving? It sounds like most of them are giving "raw flux".

Edis, this is a good question, and your intuition is correct. First, if you initialize a run closer to steady-state, that should speed up convergence of your MFPT estimate. This is the idea of our haMSM approach. Second, if you recycle to *all* states except the target, that will speed up the kinetics. To see this most easily, let's say state D is right next to and surrounds the target whereas A is distant from the target, then recycling some trajectories to D will clearly speed up time to target compared to only recycling to A.
I don't know the details of how WESTPA treats this situation, but I remember discussing the issue with John Russo (a student in my group) and he may have a working solution for you.
