Latent state model for cervical cancer screening data. The matrix \({\mathbf {M}} \in {\mathbb {R}}^{N \times T}\) of latent state profiles decomposed into female-specific coefficients \({\mathbf {U}} \in {\mathbb {R}}^{N \times r}\) and a small number (\(r \ll \min \left\{ N, T \right\}\)) of basic profiles \({\mathbf {V}} \in {\mathbb {R}}^{T \times r}\)
