Abstract:

Consider an application in business, economic, or finance, where the ith unit in the cth cluster experiences several events that are irregularly spaced over time. Associated with each event is a random response vector of counts or incidences. The goal is to model the random responses as functions of observed predictors as well as latent durations (or gap times) between the events. We describe a Bayesian framework for the hierarchical dynamic models that we build. We illustrate our approach using simulated data as well as real data from an advertising/marketing scenario.
