This is wonderful! I have a question though - is this the general
direction that the -stpm2- team is taking with regards to implementing
the "competing risk" framework? In the book by Royston/Lambert
(http://www.stata.com/bookstore/flexible-parametric-survival-analysis-stata/)
there was a suggestion that a subhazard/CIF-based model, perhaps
analogous to Fine-Gray model might be "a subject of research". Is that
still considered?
The illness-death model seems to be rich in possibilities though
CIF-based models are now widespread in applied literature and I was
hoping to see the related FPM extension some time in the future..
Best regards,
Adam Olszewski

Competing risks models can be applied in these situations where events are considered as mutually exclusive absorbing states. That is we have some initial state, for example alive with a diagnosis of cancer, and we are interested in several different endpoints all of which are final. However, usually a disease process will consist of one or more intermediary events that may alter the progression to an endpoint. These events are neither initial states or absorbing states. Here we consider one of the simplest multi-state models known as an illness-death model.
