Abstract:

In a longitudinal study, subjects can experience several types of recurrent events. Also, there may exist intermittent dropouts resulting in repeated observation gaps during which no recurrent events are observed. In this paper, we consider a special case when information on the observation gap is incomplete, that is, the terminating time of observation gap is not available while the starting time is known. Such incomplete information is incorporated in terms of multivariate interval censored mechanism. We propose a marginal rate models with estimated risk functions using both nonparametric and semiparametric methods. Estimating equations are derived for estimating parameters. A proposed method is applied to the YTOP dataset on two kinds of conviction with intermittent suspensions.
