Estimates of the log-baseline hazard functions (baseline covariate profile: 82 years old, white female, at most 1 comorbidity index, less than 2 weeks of hospital stay at initial hospitalization, and discharge to home); estimates from univariate data analyses are provided in panels (a) and (b); results from the proposed Bayesian framework for semi-competing risks data are provided in panels (c), (d), and (e) (Markov), and (f), (g), and (h) (semi-Markov). Three sets of data analyses were performed, with values of α and αg of 5, 20 and 50 adopted for all Poisson rate parameters. Also shown for the univariate data analyses are the smoothed Nelson-Aalen (univariate, frequentist) estimate of the baseline hazard function.
