fit.baseline

Utility function 
Fits a binomial model with logaritmic link, with <code>y</code> as outcome
 and covariates in <code>rates.frame</code> to estimate rates in the
 inttervals between <code>breaks</code>.

Functions for demographic and epidemiological analysis in
the Lexis diagram, i.e. register and cohort follow-up data. In
particular representation, manipulation, rate estimation and
simulation for multistate data - the Lexis suite of functions, which
includes interfaces to 'mstate', 'etm' and 'cmprsk' packages.
Contains functions for Age-Period-Cohort and Lee-Carter modeling and
a function for interval censored data and some useful functions for
tabulation and plotting, as well as a number of epidemiological data
sets.
