Abstract
Panel count data refers to the information collected in studies focusing on recurrent events, where subjects are observed only at specific time points. If these study subjects are exposed to recurrent events of several types, we obtain panel count data with multiple modes of recurrence. In this article, we present a novel method based on generalized estimating equations for the regression analysis of panel count data exposed to multiple modes of recurrence. A cause specific proportional mean model is developed to analyze the effect of covariates on the underlying counting process due to multiple modes of recurrence. We conduct a detailed investigation on the joint estimation of baseline cumulative mean functions and regression parameters. Simulation studies are carried out to evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators. The procedures are applied to two real data sets, to demonstrate the practical utility.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Data Science (ADS) publishes cutting-edge research findings, experimental results and case studies of data science. Although Data Science is regarded as an interdisciplinary field of using mathematics, statistics, databases, data mining, high-performance computing, knowledge management and virtualization to discover knowledge from Big Data, it should have its own scientific contents, such as axioms, laws and rules, which are fundamentally important for experts in different fields to explore their own interests from Big Data. ADS encourages contributors to address such challenging problems at this exchange platform. At present, how to discover knowledge from heterogeneous data under Big Data environment needs to be addressed. ADS is a series of volumes edited by either the editorial office or guest editors. Guest editors will be responsible for call-for-papers and the review process for high-quality contributions in their volumes.
