Non-parametric and semi-parametric inference for complex multi-state data under the semi-Markov and the non-Markov assumptions.
order to examine triggers and influences on recurring pathological states. An example is the PAMINA study (Wöber et al., 2007, Zebenholzer et al., 2010, Salhofer et al., 2010, Salmal et al., 2011) where migraine [...] described by recurrent multi-state models, where one has to use non-Markov processes. Aim of the PAMINA study was to identify relevant trigger factors, which are clearly associated with recurring pathological
