摘要
Multi-state models provide a convenient statistical framework for a wide variety of medical applications characterized by multiple events and longitudinal data. We illustrate this through four examples. The potential value of the incorporation of unobserved or partially observed states is highlighted. In addition, joint modelling of multiple processes is illustrated with application to potentially informative loss to follow-up, mis-measured or missclassified data and causal inference.
