Transient and absorbing states

Returns the transient and absorbing states of either a fitted model or a transition intensity matrix.

Usage

transient.msm(x = NULL, qmatrix = NULL)

absorbing.msm(x = NULL, qmatrix = NULL)

Arguments

x

A fitted multi-state model as returned by msm.

qmatrix

A transition intensity matrix. The diagonal is ignored and taken to be minus the sum of the rest of the row.

Value

A vector of the ordinal indices of the transient or absorbing states.
