initialprob.nhm

Outputs the vector of initial state probabilities in a misclassification type hidden Markov multi-state model fitted using <code>nhm</code>.

Fits non-homogeneous Markov multistate models and misclassification-type hidden Markov models in continuous time to intermittently observed data. Implements the methods in Titman (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2010.01550.x>. Uses direct numerical solution of the Kolmogorov forward equations to calculate the transition probabilities.
