Goals

Multi-state models
are the most commonly used models for describing the development for longitudinal data. In medicine, the states describe conditions like healthy, diseased, diseased with complications, and death. In econometric literature on unemployment lengths, multi-state models arise when considering the state biography, or multiple destinations such as "recall to an old job" or "finding a new job". In sum, multi-state models are useful for modelling multivariate and multiple survival data.

This international seminar brings the opportunity of attending to several talks on special topics of much interest, in the field of multi-state models. The invited speakers are leading researchers on this area and related ones, with much experience on both theoretical and applied research. We hope that this seminar will serve to promote multi-state modelling among local researchers, and to confront different approaches in modelling and inference from multivariate survival data.
