abstract: Nonparametric estimation of population-averaged transition probabilities,
  with cluster-bootstrap pointwise confidence intervals, simultaneous confidence bands,
  and two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type tests for clustered or independent multistate
  process data. Estimation follows Bakoyannis (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1111/biom.13327>;
  two-sample inference for the cluster-randomized and independent-samples designs
  follows Bakoyannis and Bandyopadhyay (2022) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10463-021-00819-x>.
  Both methods use the working-independence Aalen-Johansen estimator. The package
  supports both progressive (acyclic) and non-monotone (e.g., illness-death with recovery)
  multistate processes, right censoring, left truncation, and informative cluster
  size. The user supplies data in interval format (one row per mutually-exclusive
  time interval per subject) and interacts with the package through a single formula-based
  function, patp().
