Title: A Flexible Model for Recurrent Event Outcomes in Oral Health
Author(s): Elizabeth H. Slate*+ and Edsel A. Peña

Abstract:

This talk will describe a flexible model for recurrent event outcomes and discuss its application in oral health research. The model accommodates the effects of interventions following event occurrences, correlation among events, a strengthening or weakening effect on the subject due to accumulating events, and covariate effects. Recent research that incorporates this model in a latent class framework for jointly modeling a longitudinal biomarker and recurrent event outcome also will be presented.
