We define a new class of models for multivariate survival data, in continuous time, based on a number of cumulative hazard functions, along the lines of our family of models for correlated survival data in discrete time [Gross and Huber-Carol (2000, 2002)]. This family is an alternative to frailty and copula models. We establish some properties of our family and compare it to Clayton’s and Marshall–Olkin’s and derive nonparametric partial likelihood estimates of the hazards involved in its definition. |
