Given a phase-type sojourn distribution, return the corresponding Markov intensity matrix where the last state is the absorbing state, and the the time to absorption is the sojourn distribution.

Usage

Progression rates. Either a vector of length nphase-1, or a matrix with npar rows and nphase-1 columns.

arate

Absorption rates. Either a vector of length nphase, or a matrix with npar rows and nphase columns.
