The most accurate estimation of transition probabilities for a multi-state model of health status requires longitudinal data. However, for many countries such data are usually not available. Instead, ...

In this paper, we introduce one model named random connection model RG(n, α, β) defined as follows: the vertex set is ℤ 2 n , and two vertices u, υ∈ ℤ 2 n are adjacent with probability αn−H(u,v)βH(u,v ...
