disc_phase_type: 'disc_phase_type' class

In aumath-advancedr2019/ticphasetype: Phase-type distributions for bioinformatics

Description

Description of the class disc_phase_type, which represents discrete phase-type distributions.

Usage

disc_phase_type(subint_mat = NULL, init_probs = NULL)

Arguments

subint_mat	matrix or NULL (default).
init_probs	vector, a one-row matrix or NULL (default).

Details

disc_phase_type is the generator function for the discrete phase-type distribution class of the same name, which inherits from list. The class is generated by supplying a sub-intensity matrix and an optional initial probability vector. If the initial probabilities are not specified, then a they are automatically generated as the first state having a probability of 1 and the rest a probability of 0.

Examples

subintensity_matrix = matrix(c(0.4, 0, 0, 0.24, 0.4, 0, 0.12, 0.2, 0.5), ncol = 3)
disc_phase_type(subintensity_matrix)

#---

subintensity_matrix = matrix(c(0.4, 0, 0, 0.24, 0.4, 0, 0.12, 0.2, 0.5), ncol = 3)
initial_probabilities = c(0.9, 0.1, 0)
disc_phase_type(subintensity_matrix, initial_probabilities)
