antedep: Antedependence Models for Longitudinal Data

Fitting, simulation, and inference for antedependence models for longitudinal data, as described in Zimmerman and Nunez-Anton (2009, ISBN:9781420011074). Supports integer-valued antedependence (INAD) models for count data with thinning operators (binomial, Poisson, negative binomial) and flexible innovation distributions (Poisson, Bell, negative binomial), categorical antedependence models for discrete-state longitudinal outcomes, and Gaussian antedependence (AD) models for continuous data. Implements maximum likelihood estimation via time-separable optimization and block coordinate descent, with confidence intervals based on Louis' identity and profile likelihood.
