updatepars.msm
Update the maximum likelihood estimates in a fitted model object. Developer use only.
updatepars.msm(x, pars)
x |
A fitted multi-state model object, as returned by
|
pars |
Vector of new parameters, in their untransformed real-line
parameterisations, to substitute for the maximum likelihood
estimates corresponding to those in the |
An updated msm model object with the updated maximum likelihood
estimates, but with the covariances / standard errors unchanged.
Point estimates from output functions such as qmatrix.msm,
pmatrix.msm, or any related function, can then be evaluated
with the new parameters, and at arbitrary covariate values.
This function is used, for example, when computing confidence
intervals from pmatrix.msm, and related functions, using
the ci="normal" method.
