Build Up a Model Parameter List Skeleton
Description
Constructs the skeleton of a model parameter list on basis of the transition-type definition matrix.
Usage
mplskeleton(tmat)
Arguments
tmat |
a transition-type definition matrix. This is a square matrix containing the boolean information of which exit state-types (the columns) are reachable from which entry state-type (the lines). |
Details
The example below provides an intuitive description of how to suitably set up the input argument.
Value
An incomplete (therefore the function name ends with 'skeleton')
model parameter list as used for the input argument mpl
in the
function simeventhistories
.

Examples
## Two state-type model with transient state-types 1 and 2:
tra2 <- matrix(ncol = 2, nrow = 2, data = FALSE)
tra2[1, 2] <- tra2[2, 1] <- TRUE
mplskeleton(tmat = tra2)
## Illness-death model (IDM) with recovery:
traIDM <- matrix(nrow = 3, ncol = 3, FALSE)
traIDM[1, 2] <- traIDM[1, 3] <- traIDM[2, 1] <- traIDM[2, 3] <- TRUE
mplskeleton(tmat = traIDM)
