Semiparametric analysis of panel count data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
observation times or both observation and follow-up times are related with the recurrent events of interest. Their performances are evaluated through simulation studies for practical situations. In addition, the proposed methods are illustrated by application...
