Abstract: splitit splits overlapping spells within a case. The result is a spell file where each split spell of a case is either chronologically unique or chronological completely parallel to other split spells of the same case (having exactly the same start and end_dates, in the following called "isochronic spells"). Spell splitting is an essential step for most of the methods to analyze episode data, and is a preliminary step in transforming spell data into sequence data.
