Recurrent event data frequently occur in clinical studies, demography, engineering reliability and so on (Cook and Lawless, The Statistical Analysis of Recurrent Events, Springer, 2007). Sometimes, two or more different but related type of recurrent events may occur simultaneously. In this study, our interest is to estimate the covariate effect on bivariate recurrent event times with zero inflations. Such zero inflation can be related with susceptibility. In the context of bivariate recurrent event data, furthermore, such susceptibilities may be different according to the type of event. We propose a joint model including both two intensity functions and two cure rate functions. Bivariate frailty effects are adopted to model the correlation between recurrent events. Parameter estimates are obtained by maximizing the likelihood derived under a piecewise constant hazard assumption. According to simulation results, the proposed method brings unbiased estimates while the model ignoring cure rate models gives underestimated covariate effects and overestimated variance estimates. We apply the proposed method to a set of bivariate recurrent infection data in a study of child patients with leukemia.

Subjects can experience two types of recurrent events in a longitudinal study. In addition, there may exist intermittent dropouts that results in repeated observation gaps during which no recurrent events are observed. Therefore, theses periods are regarded as non-risk status. In this paper, we consider a special case where information on the observation gap is incomplete, that is, the termination time of observation gap is not available while the starting time is known. For a statistical inference, incomplete termination time is incorporated in terms of interval-censored data and estimated with two approaches. A shared frailty effect is also employed for the association between two recurrent events. An EM algorithm is applied to recover unknown termination times as well as frailty effect. We apply the suggested method to young drivers' convictions data with several suspensions.

Several statistical models for bivariate poisson data are suggested and used to analyze 2011 K-league data. Our interest is composed of two purposes: The first purpose is to exploit potential attacking and defensive abilities of each team. Particular, a bivariate poisson model with diagonal inflation is incorporated for the estimation of draws. A joint model is applied to estimate an association between poisson distribution and probability of draw. The second one is to investigate causes on scoring time of goals and a regression technique of recurrent event data is applied. Some related future works are suggested.

가뭄에 대한 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 가뭄의 심도 및 지속기간 등 가뭄특성을 산정하여 가뭄을 정량화하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 표준강수지수(SPI)를 도입하여 가뭄특성을 정량적으로 산정하였다. 가뭄은 일정기간 지속되는 특성을 지니고 있기 때문에 일정 관측기간동안 제한된 가뭄사상을 가지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 조선시대에 기록된 측우기 자료(1770년 ${\sim}$ 1907년)를 이용하여 관측자료를 확장하였고, 이를 이용하여 보다 많은 가뭄특성자료를 획득하여 가뭄빈도해석을 실시하였다. 측우기 자료와 관측자료를 이용하여 산정된 SPI로부터 절단수준법 개념을 이용하여 SPI의 -1이하를 가뭄으로 정의하고, 가뭄 심도 및 가뭄 지속기간을 구하였다. 가뭄의 심도와 지속기간은 가뭄을 특성화하는데 있어서 중요한 인자로서 최근 이 두 특성을 함께 고려하는 빈도해석법들이 제안되고 있다. 기존의 단일변수 빈도해석을 가뭄에 적용하였을 경우, 가뭄의 심도와 지속기간을 이용하여 구한 각각의 재현특성이 상이하게 나타나는 경우가 있는데, 이는 하나의 가뭄사상의 재현특성을 표현하는데 적절하지가 않다. 본 연구에서는 이변수 감마분포를 이용하여 가뭄심도와 지속기간의 결합확률밀도함수를 추정하고, 이를 통하여 가뭄의 이변수 재현 기간을 산정하여 분석하였다.
