Recurrent Event Data Analysis

The R package reda provides functions for simulating, exploring and modeling recurrent event data. package

Details

The main functions are summarized as follows:

• simEventData: Simulating survival, recurrent event, and multiple event data from stochastic process point of view.
• mcf: Estimating the mean cumulative function (MCF) from a fitted gamma frailty model, or from a sample recurrent event data by using the nonparametic MCF estimator (the Nelson-Aelen estimator of the cumulative hazard function).
• mcfDiff: Comparing two-sample MCFs by the pseudo-score tests and estimating their difference over time.
• rateReg: Fitting Gamma fraitly model with spline baseline rate function.

See the package vignettes for more introduction and demonstration.
