A: A base multistate Markov model describes one-way transition of four states of DR. B: A second base model describes two-way transition of four states of DR. The process of entering the final absorbing state is irreversible. Rates of transition (or transition intensities) are specified as qij, where transition occurs from the current state i to the future state j.
