Abstract

In this chapter, we compare the gamma frailty and inverse Gaussian frailty models with three different baseline distributions, namely, Gompertz, log-logistic, and bivariate exponential of Marshall and Olkin (1967). We also analyze three data sets, namely, acute leukemia data, litters of rat data, and diabetic retinopathy data with six proposed models based on gamma and inverse Gaussian frailty models.
