Abstract:

Recurrent events data arise in many fields. Previous models and methods apply only to the observed numbers of events. This talk presents a new nonparametric model and graphical and analytical methods for such data, which include costs or other values associated with events. Examples include treatment costs and durations of recurrent disease episodes and costs or downtime for product repairs. The methods also apply to a mix of different types of events, such as different patient outcomes or types of repairs. The methods are illustrated with applications to recurrent diseases, product repairs, and babies born to statisticians. Needed theory will be mentioned.
