RT Journal Article T1 idmTPreg: Regression Model for Progressive Illness Death Data A1 Azarang, Leyla A1 Oviedo de la Fuente, Manuel AB This paper describes the implementation of a flexible method in R for fitting a regression modelto possibly non-Markov progressive illness-death data. The idmTPreg package offers the user theopportunity to estimate possibly time-varying effect of covariates on the transition probabilities forthe progressive illness-death model. We have explained the use of the idmTPreg package by applyingthe method to a colon cancer dataset. The results in this paper were obtained using R 3.4.2. In a futureversion of the package, we plan to implement a similar method to estimate coefficients on net survivalsfor a progressive illness-death in a relative survival setting PB The R Foundation SN 2073-4859 YR 2018 FD 2018 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18402 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18402 LA eng NO Azarang, L. & Oviedo de la Fuente, M.
