ph_laplace

Computes the Laplace transform at <code>r</code> of a phase-type distribution with
parameters <code>alpha</code> and <code>S</code>.

Tools for phase-type distributions including the following variants:
continuous, discrete, multivariate, in-homogeneous, right-censored, and regression.
Methods for functional evaluation, simulation and estimation using the
expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm are provided for all models.
The methods of this package are based on the following references.
