buildrisksets {penMSM}

Calculation of risksets needed for partial likelihood formulation of multistate models.

Description

This function calculates the risksets needed to calculate the partial likelihood of a multistate model, and/or it's derivatives.

Usage

buildrisksets(entry, exit, trans, event, trace)

Arguments

entry

vector with entry times.

exit

vector with exit times.

trans

vector with transition types.

event

vector with noncensoring event indicators.

trace

logical triggering printout of status information during the fitting process.

Details

This function calculates risksets.

Value

A list of length 2 with elements Ci and Ri, each vectors of length n.
