in the values of r.Bias and CP between the three distributions considered
in simulations and the normal distribution. Through the analysis of
augmented PAQUID data, we found that non-homogeneity between
individuals exists. Men transitioned from healthy to diagnosed-with-
dementia states with an intensity that was 1.899 times higher than that
of women. For the transition from healthy to dead states, the intensity
for women was 6.816 times higher than it was for men, and the intensity
of the educated group was 3.874 times higher than that of the non-
educated group. However, there was no significant difference in the
transition intensity of dignosed-with-dementia to dead states between
men and women or between educated and non-educated groups.
