random_structure

Type of structure: "general", "hyperexponential", "gerlang", "coxian" or "gcoxian"

structure

A factor that multiplies the sub-intensity matrix

scale_factor

Generates random parameters <code>alpha</code> and <code>S</code> of a phase-type distribution of dimension <code>p</code> with chosen structure

Tools for homogeneous and in-homogeneous phase-type distributions.
Methods for functional evaluation, simulation and estimation using the
expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm are provided.
The methods of this package are based on the following references.
