Effects of covariates on competing exit transitions in phase type models

Usage

logrrnext(draws)

rrnext(draws)

Arguments

draws: Object returned by msmbayes.

Value

A data frame containing samples from the posterior distribution. See qdf for notes on this format and how to summarise.

Details

Only applicable to phase-type approximation models, specified with pastates.

logrrnext gives the Linear effect of covariates on log relative risk of transition to a competing destination state, relative to baseline destination state.

rrnext gives the exponential of the linear effect, interpretable as a hazard ratio. See the semi-Markov models vignette and paper for the mathematical details.
