ph.tridiag {mapfit}

Create a tri-diagonal PH distribution

Description

Create an instance of tri-diagonal PH distribution.

Usage

ph.tridiag(size)

Arguments

size

An integer for the number of phases

Value

An instance of tri-diagonal PH distribution

Note

Tri-diagonal PH distribution is the PH distribution whose infinitesimal generator is given by a tri-diagonal matrix (band matrix).

Examples

## create a tridiagonal PH with 5 phases
(param1 <- ph.tridiag(5))
