ASA
Instructor(s): Richard J. Cook, University of Waterloo, Jerald F. Lawless, University of Waterloo
Recurrent event data arise in diverse fields such as public health, actuarial science, social sciences, economics, business and manufacturing. The aim of this workshop is to introduce a variety of models and statistical methods available for the analysis of recurrent event data. Models for the analysis of count data, gap time models, and intensity-based models will be discussed, as well as robust methods based on rate and mean functions. The emphasis will be on multiplicative models. Techniques for model assessment will be discussed. Features of the various models will be illustrated by application to several examples, taken from health research and reliability. Statistical analysis will be carried out using R/S-PLUS code. Prerequisite: Some familiarity with basic methods of survival analysis is required.
