Plots of multi-state models

Description

This produces a plot of the expected probability of survival against time, from each transient state. Survival is defined as not entering the final absorbing state.

Usage

plot(x, from, to, covariates, legend.pos, ...)

Arguments

x Output from msm, representing a fitted multi-state model object
from States from which to consider survival from. Defaults to the complete set of transient states.
to Absorbing state to consider. Defaults to the highest-labelled absorbing state.
covariates Covariate values for which to evaluate the expected probabilities. This can either be:

the string "mean", denoting the means of the covariates in the data (this is the default),

the number 0, indicating that all the covariates should be set to zero,

or a list of values, with optional names. For example
list (60, 1)
where the order of the list follows the order of the covariates originally given in the model formula, or a named list,
list (age = 60, sex = 1)
legend.pos Vector of the x and y position, respectively, of the legend.
... Other arguments to the generic plot function
