Statistics for Matrix Distributions

Description

This package implements tools which are useful for the statistical analysis of discrete, continuous, multivariate, right-censored or regression variants of phase-type distributions. These distributions are absorption times of Markov jump processes, and thus the maximization of their likelihood for statistical estimation is best dealt with using the EM algorithm.
