Hello R experts, I wonder if there is any package to estimate this kind of models in R:
Multi-state Multi-spell Survival Models with Heterogeneity One of the most powerful programs for survival models is CTM, the Continuous Time Model, developed for NIH at NORC under the direction of James J. Heckman. Generalizing the competing risks model, CTM allows for transitions between any number of states, repeated spells within a state, time varying covariates, person and state specific heterogeneity, and arbitrary duration dependence specified in a highly flexible hazard model. Although in all cases the baseline hazard is fully parametric, it can be specified as a sufficiently rich function of time to capture a very wide set of duration dependencies. Any references?
