Computes several indicators of the episodes in the life history data: number of episodes, types of episodes (open or closed) and total and mean durations of episodes.

1	OverviewEpisodes(Bdata,seq.ind)

`Bdata`	input data: Biograph object
`seq.ind`	individual state sequences. If seq.ind is missing, the function calls Sequences.ind to obtain the individual state sequences.

Open intervals start before onset of observation (left truncated) or continue after observation ends (right censored). Closed intervals start and end during the observation period.

`n`	Sample size
`ne`	Total number of episodes
`nt`	Total number of transitions
`types`	Number of episodes by type [open. closed]
`sojourn`	Total sojourn time in each type of episode
