  <dc:title>Nonparametric Analysis of Clustered Multistate Processes</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package clusteredMSM version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Nonparametric estimation of population-averaged transition
    probabilities, with cluster-bootstrap pointwise confidence intervals,
    simultaneous confidence bands, and two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type
    tests for clustered or independent multistate process data.
    Estimation follows Bakoyannis (2021) &lt;doi:10.1111/biom.13327&gt;;
    two-sample inference for the cluster-randomized and
    independent-samples designs follows Bakoyannis and Bandyopadhyay
    (2022) &lt;doi:10.1007/s10463-021-00819-x&gt;. Both methods use the
    working-independence Aalen-Johansen estimator. The package supports
    both progressive (acyclic) and non-monotone (e.g., illness-death
    with recovery) multistate processes, right censoring, left
    truncation, and informative cluster size. The user supplies data
    in interval format (one row per mutually-exclusive time interval
    per subject) and interacts with the package through a single
    formula-based function, patp().</dc:description>
