I’m slightly (very) late in advertising this, but I will be at the 3rd Conference on Lifetime Data Science, to be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, during May 31 – June 2, 2023, teaching a one-day course on Flexible parametric competing risks and multi-state models. Full conference details are here. The programme looks ratherContinue reading “Training course at Lifetime Data Science conference 2023”

Probabilistic sensitivity analysis and survival models
Today we’re going to take a little look into probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA), and how it can be implemented within the context of survival analysis. Now PSA is used extensively in health economic modelling, where a particular parameter (or parameters) of interest, are altered or varied, to represent different scenarios and levels of variation. WeContinue reading “Probabilistic sensitivity analysis and survival models”
Defining a transition matrix for multi-state modelling
In this post we’ll take a look at how to define a custom transition matrix for use with our multistate package in Stata. The transition matrix A transition matrix governs the movement of a process between possible states. Within multi-state survival analysis, and particularly, the implementation of multi-state models in Stata, the transition matrix containsContinue reading “Defining a transition matrix for multi-state modelling”
multistate v4.4.0: semi-parametric multi-state modelling
multistate version 4.4.0 has been released! Ok, that may have happened a few weeks ago… The headlines: predictms now supports the Cox model as a transition model, estimated usingmerlin or stmerlin Predictions from a multi-state Cox model are implemented using asimulation approach Supported predictions from a multi-state Cox model include transitionprobabilities, probability, and length ofContinue reading “multistate v4.4.0: semi-parametric multi-state modelling”
