gcmrec: General Class of Models for Recurrent Event Data
Parameter estimation for the general class of semiparametric
models for recurrent event data proposed by Peña and Hollander (2004,
<ISBN:978-1-4020-7737-6>). The model incorporates an effective age
function encoding the impact of interventions after each event
occurrence, the effect of accumulating event occurrences, a link
function for possibly time-dependent covariates, and optional gamma
frailties to induce dependence among inter-event times. It also fits
the extension for cancer relapses of González et al. (2005)
<doi:10.1002/sim.2410>. Estimation is performed by profile likelihood,
with an expectation-maximization algorithm for the frailty model, and
the package provides descriptive, diagnostic and predictive tools for
the fitted models.
