Thanks for posting this. I have been meaning to circle back to this thread. Short answer is yes because MARK does all the work and RMark only prepares an input file for MARK. BUT, the case you mention in which a transition is fixed to 0 always because it is not possible, seems to have always worked. Fortunately, that is the typical use of fixing to 0, so in most cases, all is good. The situation which identified a problem was one where the transition was only fixed to 0 for certain time intervals. If you want to be certain, download the newest version of MARK and rerun with the fixed 0 values in the mlogit set.
