A Treatise of Human Nature taste to be in the other), arguing that unextended perceptions must somehow exist without having a location. But the contrary problem arises for dualists: how can extended perceptions (of extended objects) possibly be conjoined to a simple substance? Indeed, Hume waggishly adds, this is basically the same problem that theologians commonly press against Spinoza's naturalistic metaphysics: thus if the theologians manage to solve the problem of extended perceptions belonging to a simple substance, then they give "that famous atheist" Spinoza a solution to the problem of extended objects as modes of a simple substance. Finally, Hume examines "causal relations", arguing
Phase-type distribution (the non-homogeneous case). The mixture of two Erlang distribution with parameter "E"(3,β), "E"(3,β) and (α,α) (such that α + α = 1 and for each "i", α ≥ 0) can be represented as a phase type distribution with and The Coxian distribution is a generalisation of the hypoexponential distribution. Instead of only being able to enter the absorbing state from state "k" it can be reached from any phase. The phase-type representation is given by, and where 0 < "p"...,"p" ≤ 1. In the case where all "p" = 1 we have the hypoexponential distribution. The Coxian distribution is extremely
