In a time-homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain, a state's holding time is exponential with rate equal to its total outgoing transition intensity. Converting the specified times to months gives
(1)
The exit-type probability follows by dividing its transition intensity by the total exit rate. Therefore
(2)
These are starting values for numerical estimation, rather than further observations or constraints on the final fitted rates.
