Frailty modelling for multivariate current status data with applications in epidemiology

• Applicant: Privatdozent Dr. Steffen Unkel
• Subject Area: Epidemiology and Medical Biometry/Statistics
• Term: from 2018 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 405997237

The overall aims of the project are as follows:- To develop flexible methodology for the analysis of multivariate current status data in the presence of time-constant and time-varying individual heterogeneities.- To investigate the identifiability, robustness and goodness-of-fit of such models.- To develop estimation methods for these models for multivariate current status data arising in epidemiology.- To provide statistical software and examples of applications for this new methodology.
