boot_probtrans function

Bootstrap confidence intervals for transition probabilities

Generates 95% highest density bootstrap interval estimates for transition probabilities computed using probtrans_ebmstate (clock-reset version).

boot_probtrans(coxrfx_fits_boot, patient_data, tmat, initial_state, max_time)

Arguments

• coxrfx_fits_boot: The list of CoxRFX objects obtained by running boot_coxrfx.
• patient_data: (Single) patient data in long format, possibly with expanded covariates (as obtained by running mstate::expand.covs).
• tmat: Transition matrix for the multi-state model, as obtained by running mstate::transMat
• initial_state: The initial state for which transition probability estimates should be computed
• max_time: The maximum time for which estimates should be computed

Returns

Interval estimates for transition probabilities.
