Simulate intermittently-observed data from a semi-Markov multi-state model with two states and reversible transitions.

Source: R/sim.R
sim_2state_smm.Rd

Either or both states can have any sojourn distribution that we know how to simulate from.

Usage

sim_2state_smm(
  nindiv,
  obstimes,
  rfn1 = rexp,
  pars1 = list(rate = 1),
  rfn2 = exp,
  pars2 = list(rate = 1)
)

Arguments

nindiv

Number of individuals.

obstimes

Observation times, common between individuals.

rfn1

Function to simulate from the sojourn distribution in state 2. By default this is the exponential.

pars1

Named list of arguments and their values to be passed to rfn1, specifying parameter values for the sojourn distribution.

rfn2

Function to simulate from the sojourn distribution in state 2.

pars2

Named list of arguments and their values to be passed to rfn2, specifying parameter values for the sojourn distribution.
