Some Graphical Displays and Marginal Regression Analyses for Recurrent Failure Times and Time Dependent Covariates
重复失效时间与时变协变量的图形展示及边际回归分析
Recurrent event time data are common in medical research; examples include infections in AIDS patients and seizures in epilepsy patients. In this context, as well as in the more usual context of a single failure time variable, time-dependent covariates are frequently of interest. We suggest some rate functions that might be displayed when analyzing recurrent failure time data or when the effect of a categorical time-dependent covariate is of interest. Estimators of these…
