Stochastic Process Model for Analysis of Longitudinal and
Time-to-Event Outcomes
Description
Utilities to estimate parameters of the models with survival functions
induced by stochastic covariates. Miscellaneous functions for data preparation
and simulation are also provided. For more information, see: (i) "Life tables
