Non-parametric competing risks with multivariate frailty models
… (i) competing risks and (ii) random eect (frailty) models. The theory of competing risks provides a structure for inference in problems where cases are subject to several types of failure. Random eects in competing risk models consist of two underlying distributions: the conditional …

Statistical Methods for Multi-type Recurrent Event Data Based on Monte Carlo EM Algorithms and Copula Frailties
… analysis and present a short introduction to frailty distributions. The Monte Carlo expectation maximization (MCEM) algorithm and copula functions for the multivariate variables are also presented in this chapter. Chapter 2 develops a multi-type recurrent events model with multivariate …

Time-Varying Coefficient Models for Recurrent Events
… part proposes a Bayesian joint model based on multivariate log-normal frailties for multi-type recurrent events. In the first part, I propose an approach based on penalized B-splines to obtain smooth estimation for both time-varying coefficients and the log baseline intensity. An EM algorithm …
