title: 'antedep: Antedependence Models for Longitudinal Data'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.antedep
abstract: Fitting, simulation, and inference for antedependence models for longitudinal
  data, as described in Zimmerman and Nunez-Anton (2009, ISBN:9781420011074). Supports
  integer-valued antedependence (INAD) models for count data with thinning operators
  (binomial, Poisson, negative binomial) and flexible innovation distributions (Poisson,
  Bell, negative binomial), categorical antedependence models for discrete-state longitudinal
  outcomes, and Gaussian antedependence (AD) models for continuous data. Implements
  maximum likelihood estimation via time-separable optimization and block coordinate
  descent, with confidence intervals based on Louis' identity and profile likelihood.
