		Nonparametric Analysis of Clustered Multistate Processes //
		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)
		doi:10.1111/biom.13327; two-sample inference for the cluster-
		randomized and independent-samples designs follows Bakoyannis
		and Bandyopadhyay (2022) doi: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().
