Estimation of Transition Probabilities in Multistate Models

Description

The TPmsm software contains functions that compute estimates for the transition probabilities in the illness-death model and or the three-state progressive model. This package implements seven different estimators. Being five of them non-parametric and two of them semi-parametric (PAJ and KMPW). The implemented estimators are the Aalen-Johansen estimator (AJ), Presmoothed Aalen-Johansen estimator (PAJ), Kaplan-Meier Weighted estimator (KMW), Presmoothed Kalpan-Meier Weighted estimator (KMPW), Inverse Probability Censoring estimator (IPCW), Lin estimator (LIN) and Location-Scale estimator (LS). The Inverse Probability Censoring (IPCW) and Lin (LIN) estimators also permit to compute transition probabilities conditioned on a single covariate. Bootstrap confidence bands can be computed for each of the mentioned estimators. Several graphical plots of the transition probabilities with or without confidence bands can be drawn. To aid in the study of the statistical properties of the implemented estimators, functions to generate pseudo-random data for some well-known multivariate distributions were implemented.
