		Backward Joint Model for the Dynamic Prediction of Both Time-to-
		Event and Longitudinal Outcomes // Provides tools to fit joint
		models of multivariate longitudinal data and time-to-event data
		for dynamic prediction. It allows the joint prediction of both
		future time-to-event outcomes and future longitudinal outcomes
		conditional on survival. The models accommodate irregularly
		measured longitudinal data and competing risks outcomes. The
		use of the backward joint model enables fast and efficient
		computation, especially for applications with large sample
		sizes and many longitudinal variables.
