We study models for recurrent events with special emphasis on the situation where a terminal event acts as a competing risk for the recurrent events process and where there may be gaps between periods during which subjects are at risk for the recurrent event.
We focus on marginal analysis of the expected number of events and show that an Aalen-Johansen type estimator proposed by Cook and Lawless is applicable in this situation. A motivating example deals with psychiatric hospital admissions where we supplement with analyses of the marginal distribution of time to the competing event and the marginal distribution of the time spent in hospital. Pseudo-observations are used for the latter purpose.

Na kratko o IBMI

Inštitut za biostatistiko in medicinsko informatiko (IBMI), prej Inštitut za biomedicinsko informatiko (torej tudi IBMI), je Medicinska fakulteta ustanovila leta 1973 kot izraz potrebe po izvajanju in usklajevanju del, vezanih na analizo podatkov in posredovanje informacij. Program dela in razvoja se je skozi čas prilagajal predvsem spremembam pri financiranju in tehnološkemu napredku, vendar so temeljne smernice ostale enake: inštitut se predvsem posveča dejavnostim, ki so pomembne za raziskovalno delo v medicini. Te pa lahko razdelimo na:
