Transition Probability

The probability that a patient moves from one health state to another within a single model cycle.

Definition

Transition probabilities define the movement of patients between health states in a state-transition model. They are typically derived from clinical trial data, observational studies, or published literature. All transition probabilities from a given state must sum to 1.0. They may vary over time (non-homogeneous models) or remain constant (homogeneous models).
