This course gives an introduction to the use of the msm
R package for fitting and predicting from multi-state models for intermittently observed data, in typical medical applications.
There is a balance of short talks and practical exercises. In the exercises, you will write your own R code, based on the code demonstrated in the talks, to perform multi-state data analyses and answer applied questions.
All the course material will stay on this website, http://chjackson.github.io/msm/msmcourse,
so you can follow along at your own pace, and finish exercises in your own time.
