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

merlin version 1.0.0 now released

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
