Title:
Modelling and Analysis of Recurrent event Data with Multiple Causes
Abstract of Talk
A large amount of literature has built up on the analysis of recurrent event data. Studies
in biomedical science involve repeated occurrence of certain events with multiple causes
or different modes of failure. In this talk, we discuss some basic concepts used in survival
analysis. Then we discuss regression problem for gap time distributions of recurrent events
with multiple causes. We employ counting process approach for the estimation of parameter
vector and cumulative baseline cause specific hazard functions. The proposed method
is applied to a real data set. A simulation study is carried out to assess the finite sample
properties of the estimates.
