Density, distribution function, random generation, raw moments and
moment generating function for the (continuous) Phase-type
distribution with parameters prob and rates.
dphtype(x, prob, rates, log = FALSE) pphtype(q, prob, rates, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) rphtype(n, prob, rates) mphtype(order, prob, rates) mgfphtype(x, prob, rates, log = FALSE)
x, q |
vector of quantiles. |
n |
number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is
taken to be the number required. |
prob |
vector of initial probabilities for each of the transient
states of of the underlying Markov chain. The initial probability of
the absorbing state is 1 - sum(prob). |
rates |
square matrix of the rates of transition among the states of the underlying Markov chain. |
log, log.p |
logical; if TRUE, probabilities/densities
p are returned as log(p). |
lower.tail |
logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are
P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]. |
order |
order of the moment. |
The phase-type distribution with parameters prob =
pi and rates = T has density:
f(x) = pi %*% exp(T * x) %*% t
for x > 0 and f(0) = 1 - pi %*% e, where e is a column vector with all components equal to one, t = -T %*% e is the exit rates vector and exp(T * x) denotes the matrix exponential of T * x. The matrix exponential of a matrix M is defined as the Taylor series
exp(M) = sum(n = 0:Inf; (M^n)/(n!)).
The parameters of the distribution must satisfy pi %*% e <= 1, T[i, i] < 0, T[i, j] >= 0 and T %*% e <= 0.
The kth raw moment of the random variable X is E[X^k] and the moment generating function is E[e^{xX}].
dphasetype gives the density,
pphasetype gives the distribution function,
rphasetype generates random deviates,
mphasetype gives the kth raw moment, and
mgfphasetype gives the moment generating function in x.
Invalid arguments will result in return value NaN, with a warning.
