Description: Performs parametric and non-parametric estimation and
        simulation of drifting semi-Markov processes. The definition of
        parametric and non-parametric model specifications is also
        possible. Furthermore, three different types of drifting
        semi-Markov models are considered. These models differ in the
        number of transition matrices and sojourn time distributions
        used for the computation of a number of semi-Markov kernels,
        which in turn characterize the drifting semi-Markov kernel. For
        the parametric model estimation and specification, several
        discrete distributions are considered for the sojourn times:
        Uniform, Poisson, Geometric, Discrete Weibull and Negative
        Binomial. The non-parametric model specification makes no
        assumptions about the shape of the sojourn time distributions.
