Title: An Application of Recurrent Events Analysis
Author(s): Alexander Cambon*+

Keywords: recurrent events
Abstract:

In the fields of product engineering reliability and survival analysis, emphasis is often on time-to-event phenomena, particularly time to first event. This is of key importance when evaluating interventions to increase survival time with respect to specific diseases, for example. In product engineering reliability, time to first failure analysis is an important part of improving reliability of consumer appliances. More recently, in survival analysis, increased attention is being given to recurrent or multiple events analysis. The study of multiple or recurrent hospitalization events, for example, can give additional valuable information about an intervention. This paper focuses on an analysis of recurrent hospital events with respect to an intervention for congestive heart failure.
