- 5. Expanded renal transplantation: A competing risk model approach
- (Publication)
- Multi-state models (MSMs) are useful to analyze survival data when, besides the event of main interest, one or more intermediate states of the individual are identified. These models take the several existing ...

- 8. A nonparametric test for Markovianity in the illness-death model
- (Publication)
- Multistate models are useful tools for modeling disease progression when survival is the main outcome, but several intermediate events of interest are observed during the follow-up time. The illness-death ...
