Abstract:This paper is concerned with event durations in situations where the study units may be spatially correlated and the time origins of the events are missing. We develop regression models based on the partly observed durations with the aid of available longitudinal information. The first-hitting-time model (e.g. Lee and Whitmore, 2006) is employed to link the data of event durations and the associated longitudinal measures with shared random effects. We present procedures for estimating the model parameters and … Show more
