estimate_support_msm {icmstate} | R Documentation |
Estimate the support of a general Markov interval-censored Multi-state model without loops.
Description
Given a realisation of a multi-state model, estimate the support of the different transitions possible in that MSM. The estimation is performed by viewing each possible state in a competing risks setting and applying the result of Hudgens (2001) to determine the support and left-truncation intervals and Hudgens (2005) to check whether a solution is possible.
Usage
estimate_support_msm(gd, tmat)
Arguments
gd |
A
The true transition time between states is then interval censored between the times. |
tmat |
A transition matrix as created by |
