ms_validate_Q: Validate a generator matrix
In modMStates: Simulation and Estimation of Continuous-Time Multi-State Markov Models for Panel Data
ms_validate_Q R Documentation
Validate a generator matrix
Description
Checks that a user-supplied generator is square, numeric, finite and has
non-negative off-diagonal elements, repairs the diagonal, and reports states
that cannot be reached from state one.
Usage
ms_validate_Q(Q, strict = FALSE)
Arguments
Q
A square numeric matrix of transition intensities.
strict
Logical. If TRUE, unreachable states raise an error
rather than a warning.
Value
The validated generator, invisibly, with the diagonal set to minus the row
sum of the off-diagonal elements.
Examples
ms_validate_Q(rbind(c(0, 0.2, 0.1), c(0, 0, 0.4), c(0, 0, 0)))
