Let denote the transition semigroup of a continuous-time Markov chain. The first person is observed in at day zero, at day seven, and at day fourteen, so the contribution is
For the second person, death is observed exactly at day six but the infection time is latent. The density of an transition at day six is
Thus the combined contribution is a function of . This illustrates how panel observations contribute transition probabilities while an exactly observed transition contributes a state probability times its transition intensity.
