EM_solver

Solves for the cdf and transition intensities using the EM 
algorithm described in Frydman (1995).

internal

Allows for the non-parametric estimation of transition intensities in interval-censored
multi-state models using the approach of Gomon and Putter (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.07176> or
Gu et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asad073>.
