Value

A data.frame with the following named columns

entry_time:

State from which a transition was observed;

to:

State to which the transition was observed;

Arguments

gd

A data.frame with the following named columns

id:

Subject idenitifier;

state:

State at which the subject is observed at time;

time:

Time at which the subject is observed;
