getNextY.cont

An internal function to compute next Y based on 
continous-time model (Yashin et. al., 2007)

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:
