survsim
can now simulate survival data from a semi-Markov or multiple timescale multi-state model, and is about 70% faster
survsim
can now simulate survival data from a Markov multi-state model, defined by general transition-specific hazard functions
survsim
can now simulate survival data from a parametric distribution, a user-defined distribution, from a fitted merlin
model, or from a general cause-specific hazards competing risks model
Bringing together the strengths of stset and merlin
How merlin makes modelling of non-linear effects a whole lot simpler
Manipulating model objects

A major update to the multistate package in Stata, and other news in my multistate world
Some details on the importance of good starting values with megenreg
, and my plans to reduce the worry
