pars.fmsm: Transition-specific parameters in a flexible parametric multi-state model

Description

Matrix of maximum likelihood estimates of transition-specific parameters in a flexible parametric multi-state model, at given covariate values.

Usage

pars.fmsm(x, trans, newdata=NULL, tvar="trans")

Arguments

x

A multi-state model fitted with flexsurvreg. See msfit.flexsurvreg for the required form of the model and the data.

x can also be a list of flexsurvreg models, with one component for each permitted transition in the multi-state model, as illustrated in msfit.flexsurvreg.

trans

Matrix indicating allowed transitions. See msfit.flexsurvreg.

newdata

A data frame specifying the values of covariates in the fitted model, other than the transition number. See msfit.flexsurvreg.

tvar

Variable in the data representing the transition type. Not required if x is a list of models.

Value

A matrix with one row for each permitted transition, and one column for each parameter of the parametric distribution that generates each event in the multi-state model.
