Title: Non-Homogeneous Markov and Hidden Markov Multistate Models
Description: Fits non-homogeneous Markov multistate models and misclassification-type hidden Markov models in continuous time to intermittently observed data. Implements the methods in Titman (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2010.01550.x>. Uses direct numerical solution of the Kolmogorov forward equations to calculate the transition probabilities.

Title: Breast Cancer Survival and Therapy Benefits
Description: Calculate Overall Survival or Recurrence-Free Survival for breast cancer patients, using 'NHS Predict'.
The time interval for the estimation can be set up to 15 years, with default at 10.
Incremental therapy benefits are estimated for hormone therapy, chemotherapy, trastuzumab, and bisphosphonates.
This work is not affiliated with the development of 'NHS Predict' and its underlying statistical model.
Details on 'NHS Predict' can be found at: <doi:10.1186/bcr2464>.
The web version of 'NHS Predict': <https://breast.predict.nhs.uk/>.
A small dataset of 50 fictional patient observations is provided for the purpose of running examples.

An additional function, suited for SCAN audits, features a more user-friendly version of the code, with fewer inputs, but necessitates
A small dataset of 50 fictional patient observations is provided for the purpose of running examples with the main two functions,
and an additional dataset is provided for running example with the dedicated SCAN function.

Title: Tools for Working with NHS Number Checksums
person("Mark", "Sellors", , "rstuff@5vcc.com", c("aut", "cre", "cph"))
Description: Provides functions for working with NHS number checksums.
The UK's National Health Service issues NHS numbers to all users of its
services and this package implements functions for verifying that the
numbers are valid according to the checksum scheme the NHS use.
Numbers can be validated and checksums created.
