Title: Some Results on a General Class of Parametric Models

Abstract:

A general class of models for recurrent event data is considered under a fully parametric specification. An estimation scheme is given and the resulting standardized estimators are shown to be Gaussian under certain regularity conditions. The regularity conditions pertain to calendar time and may be difficult to verify in practice. To facilitate their verification, it becomes useful to introduce a gap-time formulation. This formulation is given and the transformed gap time regularity conditions are discussed. The model is used to analyze a dataset pertaining to the hydraulic subsystems of ``load-haul-dump" machines used in mining.
