We propose a joint modeling approach for the analysis of recurrent event data with a terminal event, where an additive-multiplicative rates model is specified for the recurrent event process, the Cox hazards frailty model is specified for the terminal event, and the shared frailty is used to account for the association between the two processes. An estimating equation approach is developed for estimating the model parameters. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. Simulation studies are constructed to examine perf...
