  <dc:title>A Parametric Model for Estimating the Mean Number of Events</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package JointFPM version 1.3.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implementation of a parametric joint model for modelling recurrent
  and competing event processes using generalised survival models as described in
  Entrop et al., (2025) &lt;doi:10.1002/bimj.70038&gt;. The joint  model can 
  subsequently be used to predict the mean number of events in the
  presence of competing risks at different time points. Comparisons of the mean
  number of event functions, e.g. the differences in mean number of events
  between two exposure groups, are also available.</dc:description>
