Russell Stocker of the Mathematics Department, along with coauthors Akim Adekpedjou and Withanage De Mel, have published their article entitled “A Class of Inference Procedures for Validating the Generalized Koziol-Green Model with Recurrent Events” in Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (June 2013).
The article proposes inferences procedures for assessing the generalized Koziol-Green model that is used to analyze recurrent event data where informative right censoring is present. The procedures are constructed using functionals of a class of empirical processes. Asymptotic properties of the resulting procedures are established and finite sampling properties are investigated via a computer simulation study. The procedures are applied to a data set that contains the recurrence times of bladder tumors for patients in a study.
