Description: A higher-level interface to continuous-time Markov multi-state
    models for panel (interval-censored) data. Seven canonical clinical
    process structures are supplied with structurally valid generator
    matrices, so that transition matrices and starting values need not be
    constructed by hand. Panel data can be simulated from exact trajectories
    under regular or irregular observation schedules, with optional exactly
    observed absorption times and optional Weibull holding times for
    assessing the Markov assumption. A single fitting call validates the
    input against the assumed structure and returns the estimated generator
    with confidence intervals, mean sojourn times, transition probability
    matrices and observed transition counts, together with the optimiser's
    convergence code. A Monte Carlo driver reports Monte Carlo standard
    errors alongside bias, root mean squared error and interval coverage.
    Likelihood evaluation is delegated to 'msm' (Jackson, 2011,
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v038.i08>); the panel-data likelihood is that of
    Kalbfleisch and Lawless (1985) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1985.10478195>.
