Estimation of progression of multi-state chronic disease using the Markov model and prevalence pool concept

BACKGROUND: We propose a simple new method for estimating progression of a chronic disease with multi-state properties by unifying the prevalence pool concept with the Markov process model. METHODS: Estimation of progression rates in the multi-state model is performed using the E-M algorithm. This a...
