A Smooth Test of Goodness-of-Fit for the Baseline Hazard Function for Time-to-First Occurrence in Recurrent Events: An Application to HIV Retention Data
View through CrossRef
Motivated by HIV retention, we present an application of the smooth test of goodness-of-fit under right-censoring to time to first occurrence of a recurrent event. The smooth test applied here is an extension of Neyman’s smooth test to a class of hazard functions for the initial distribution of a recurrent failure-time event. We estimate the baseline hazard function of time-to-first loss to follow-up, using a Block, Borges and Savits (BBS) minimal repair model of the data (n = 2,987,72% censored). Simulations were conducted at various percentages of censoring to assess the performance of the smooth test. Results show that the smooth test performed well under right-censoring.
