On the dependence structure of bivariate recurrent event processes: inference and estimation
二元复发事件过程的依赖结构：推断与估计
Bivariate or multivariate recurrent event processes are often encountered in longitudinal studies in which more than one type of event is of interest. There has been much research on regression analysis for such data, but little has been done to measure the dependence between recurrent event processes. We propose a time-dependent measure, termed the rate ratio, to assess the local dependence between two types of recurrent event processes. We model the rate ratio as a…
