It is an extension of survival analysis, in which a single terminal event (endpoint) is considered and the time-to-event is studied. Multistate models focus on life histories or trajectories, conceptualized as sequences of states and sequences of transitions between states. Life histories are modeled as realizations of continuous-time Markov processes. The model parameters, transition rates, are estimated from data on event counts and populations at risk, using the statistical theory of counting processes. .The Comprehensive R Network Archive (CRAN) includes several packages for multistate modeling. This book is about .Biograph.. The package is designed to (a) enhance exploratory analysis of life histories and (b) make multistate modeling accessible. The package incorporates utilities that connect to several packages for multistate modeling, including .survival., .eha., .Epi., .mvna<,. etm., .mstate., .msm., and .TraMineR. for sequence analysis. The book is a ‘hands-on’ presentation of .Biograph. and the packages listed. It is written from the perspective of the user.
