cumulativeIncidence {gems}

transition probabilities

Description

Calculates the cumulative incidence and prediction intervals after first state

Usage

cumulativeIncidence(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 cumulative incidence with pointwise prediction intervals over time.
