报告摘要：Cox model is the most popular model for analyzing survival data. Gamma frailty is a commonly used method for modeling the heterogeneity of subjects. However, under the gamma frailty model, the marginal hazard would lead to effects of

covariates that eventually die out as failure time t heads to infinity. To overcome this defect of the gamma frailty model, we propose a new type of double exponential gamma frailty Cox model. For the inference on the proposed models, maximum likelihood estimation is carried out and the resulting estimators are demonstrated to be consistent and asymptotically normal. Numerical simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the finite sample behaviors of the proposed estimators. Finally, an application to a medical cost study of chronic heart failure patients from the University of Virginia Health System is provided for illustration.
