Additive gamma frailty models with applications to competing risks in related individuals.

Biometrics - 1 Sept 2015

Eriksson Frank, Scheike Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological studies of related individuals are often complicated by the fact that follow-up on the event type of interest is incomplete due to the occurrence of other events. We suggest a class of frailty models with cause-specific hazards for correlated competing events in related individuals. The frailties are based on sums of gamma distributed variables and offer closed form expressions for the observed...
