lcmm

Installation

To install the CRAN version, use :

install.packages("lcmm")

To get the most recent update, install it from github :

Documentation

The complete documentation is available on the lcmm website https://CecileProust-Lima.github.io/lcmm/, along with vignettes for each of the main estimating function of the package.

A detailed companion paper is also available in Journal of Statistical Software :
