transitionProbabilities: transition probabilities

Description

Calculates the probabilities and prediction intervals after first state

Usage

transitionProbabilities(object, times, M = 100, stateNames = paste("State",
  as.list(1:dim(cohorts)[1])))

Arguments

object
either the output of simulateCohort or the matrix with the probabilities slot of that output.
times
a time vector.
M
number of groups for calculating confidence intervals.
stateNames
a list with the names of states.

Value

an object of class "PosteriorProbabilities", containing the statenames, timepoints and the transition probabilities with pointwise prediction intervals over time.
