The command uses the model without covariates, starts in mild fatigue at time zero, and calculates expected accumulated years in each state between times $0$ and $10$. Let $Z(t)$ be the fatigue state and $Q$ its fitted generator matrix. For the occupation time of a continuous-time Markov chain,the expected finite-horizon occupation time isThe first equality follows by interchanging a bounded time integral and expected value, and the second uses the homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain transition matrix. The reported expectations are 7.014800 years mild, 1.724686 years moderate, and 1.260514 years severe. They sum to ten because the person occupies exactly one state at every time. All repeated entries are counted: these are not the lengths of single holding times, the durations until first reaching each state, or the probabilities of occupying the states at year ten. The interpretation of the time limits is also given in the package documentation.
