Functions for the estimation of joint latent process models (JLPM). Continuous and ordinal outcomes are handled for the longitudinal part, whereas the survival part considers multiple competing events. The likelihood is computed using Monte-Carlo integration. Estimation is achieved by maximizing the log-likelihood using a robust iterative algorithm.
