Inverse probability weighted estimation for recurrent events data with missing category.

ABSTRACT: Modeling recurrent event data with multiple event types has drawn interest in recent biomedical studies due to its flexibility for understanding different risk factors for multiple recurrent event processes. However, in such data type, missing event type appears frequently because of various reasons such as recording ignorance or resource limitation. In this study, we aim to propose an inverse probability weighted estimation that is commonly used in the missing data literature to correct possibly biased estimation by a complete-case analysis. This approach is not limited to a specific form of the recurrent event model. We derive the large sample theory in a general form. We demonstrate that our approach can be applied to either multiplicative or additive rates model with practical sample s
