updatepars.msm

A fitted multi-state model object, as returned by
 <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/msm?package=msm&version=1.6.9" data-mini-rdoc="msm::msm">msm</a></code>.

Vector of new parameters, in their untransformed real-line
 parameterisations, to substitute for the maximum likelihood
 estimates corresponding to those in the <code>estimates</code> component
 of the fitted model object (<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/msm.object?package=msm&version=1.6.9" data-mini-rdoc="msm::msm.object">msm.object</a></code>). The
 order of the parameters is documented in <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/msm?package=msm&version=1.6.9" data-mini-rdoc="msm::msm">msm</a></code>,
 argument <code>fixedpars</code>.

pars

Update the maximum likelihood estimates in a fitted model object. Developer use only.

models

Functions for fitting continuous-time Markov and hidden
Markov multi-state models to longitudinal data.  Designed for
processes observed at arbitrary times in continuous time (panel data)
but some other observation schemes are supported. Both Markov
transition rates and the hidden Markov output process can be modelled
in terms of covariates, which may be constant or piecewise-constant
in time.
