EMpht is a programme for tting phasetype distributions􀀀 It can be used either to t

a phasetype distribution to a sample which may contain censored observations or to

make a phase-type approximation of another continuous distribution􀀀 The fitting procedure

consists of an iterative estimation of the parameters of the phasetype distribution
