MicSim (version 3.0.0)

Performing Continuous-Time Microsimulation

Description

This toolkit allows performing continuous-time microsimulation for a wide range of life science (demography, social sciences, epidemiology) applications. Individual life-courses are specified by a continuous-time multi-state model as described in Zinn (2014) .
