Psoriatic arthritis data
A series of observations of grades of psoriatic arthritis, as indicated by numbers of damaged joints.
psor
A data frame containing 806 observations, representing visits to a psoriatic arthritis (PsA) clinic from 305 patients. The rows are grouped by patient number and ordered by examination time. Each row represents an examination and contains additional covariates.
ptnum |
(numeric) | Patient identification number |
months |
(numeric) | Examination time in months |
state |
(numeric) | Clinical state of PsA. Patients in states 1, 2, 3 and 4 |
| have 0, 1 to 4, 5 to 9 and 10 or more damaged joints, | ||
| respectively. | ||
hieffusn |
(numeric) | Presence of five or more effusions |
ollwsdrt |
(character) | Erythrocyte sedimentation rate of less than 15 mm/h |

## Four-state progression-only model with high effusion and low
## sedimentation rate as covariates on the progression rates. High
## effusion is assumed to have the same effect on the 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4
## progression rates, while low sedimentation rate has the same effect
## on the 1-2 and 2-3 intensities, but a different effect on the 3-4.
