Two-compartment Markov regression analysis.
This paper presents a computer program for estimating transition rates between states in a two-compartment Markov process, where the rates are functions of covariates. Parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood using the Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. The program provides statistics for testing hypotheses concerning regression coefficients and calculates observed versus expected values in order to assess the fit of the model to the data.
