Semiparametric Generalized Inverse-Gaussian Frailty Models

In this work we introduce a new frailty model for clustered survival data using the Generalized Inverse- Gaussian (GIG) distribution for the frailty. Assuming this distribution implies in a exible model that is mathematically advantageous since closed expressions are avaliable for the unconditional...
