Description
Summary:In this paper the R package TP.idm to compute an empirical transition probability matrix for the illness-death model is introduced. This package implements a novel nonparametric estimator which is particularly well suited for non-Markov processes observed under right censoring. Variance estimates and confidence limits are also implemented in the package.
