Version 0.3 (2025/08/27)

  • msmbayes() now supports semi-Markov models with phase-type approximations to Weibull and Gamma sojourn distributions.

  • obstype and deathexact supported for exact transition times, as in msm.

  • Censored states supported through censor_states.

  • Misclassification models with fixed misclassification probabilities now supported.

  • Bayesian computation now uses rstan instead of cmdstanr. cmdstanr is now only used for Pathfinder, and is no longer a dependency.

  • Functions msmbayes_prior_sample() and msmbayes_priorpred_sample() to simulate from prior and prior predictive distributions.

  • Data summary function, statetable(), similar to its msm counterpart.

  • New output functions, including soj_prob() to return the CDF of the fitted sojourn distribution at arbitrary points, and pnext() to return the probability of the next state.

  • summary() has an improved interface for selecting model parameters.

Version 0.2 (2024/04/09)

  • Friendlier interface for specifying prior distributions.

  • Prior distributions now summarised in summary.msmbayes() output.

  • New function msmhist() for illustrating multi-state data over time.

  • New function standardise_to() for computing outputs standardised over the distribution of a given population.

Version 0.1 (2024/03/28)

  • First public release.
