Sojourn probability in a state of a msmbayes model

Usage

soj_prob(draws, t, state, new_data = NULL, method = "analytic")

Arguments

draws: Object returned by msmbayes.
t: Time since state entry. A single time or a vector can be supplied.
state: State of interest (A single integer)
new_data: Data frame with covariate values to predict for
method: Only applicable to phase-type models. Method for computing the matrix exponential involved in the phase-type sojourn distribution. See pnphase.

Value

A data frame with column posterior giving the posterior distribution for the probability of remaining in state by time t since state entry, as an rvar object. Other columns give the time and any covariate values.

Note this is the analogue of the survival probability, or one minus the CDF of the time-to-event distribution

See qdf for notes on the rvar format.
