  <dc:title>General Class of Models for Recurrent Event Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package gcmrec version 2.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Parameter estimation for the general class of semiparametric
    models for recurrent event data proposed by Peña and Hollander (2004,
    &lt;ISBN:978-1-4020-7737-6&gt;). The model incorporates an effective age
    function encoding the impact of interventions after each event
    occurrence, the effect of accumulating event occurrences, a link
    function for possibly time-dependent covariates, and optional gamma
    frailties to induce dependence among inter-event times. It also fits
    the extension for cancer relapses of González et al. (2005)
    &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.2410&gt;. Estimation is performed by profile likelihood,
    with an expectation-maximization algorithm for the frailty model, and
    the package provides descriptive, diagnostic and predictive tools for
    the fitted models.</dc:description>
