dualic: Simulated dual-censored data from an illness-death process
Description
Data from a Markov illness-death process with interval-censored
progression times, simulated according to the initial scenario
described in Boruvka and Cook (2014).
Format
A data frame with 723 observations on the following 7 variables.
id
-
subject identifier.
from
-
originating state index with
0
denoting the initial state,
1
the intermediate state, 2
the terminal state and
NA
an unknown state.
to
-
subsequent state index.
start
-
left endpoint of the time interval at which the subject is known
to be at risk for a transition between state
from
and state
to
.
stop
-
right endpoint of the at-risk interval.
status
-
indicator that a transition between state
from
and state
to
was observed at stop
.
z
-
a binary covariate.
