Multi-state life table based on multi-state markov model from msm package

Multi-state life table based on multi-state markov model from msm package

Usage

msm.table(model, ages, start, covs)

Arguments

model

msm model. See details.

ages

Numeric vector of ages.

start

Start values of lx for each group presented as numeric vector.

covs

List of (age-invariant) covariates as for msm models.

Value

Table with age (x), mx (transition rates to death), lx (root of the table = 1), Lx, Tx and ex for all groups and the whole population.

Details

msm is a Multi-state Markov model in continuous time, where age is both time and covariate. For example, model = msm::msm(state~age, subject = id, covariates = ~ age + sex, data = data, ...)

Examples

# model <- msm::msm(state~age, subject = id, covariates = ~ age + sex, data = data, ...)
# table <- msm.table(model = model, ages = 20:80, start = c(1,0,0), covs = list(sex = 1))
