In this article, a joint modeling approach is proposed for the analysis of recurrent event data with a terminal event. We specify an additive rates model with an additive frailty for the conditional recurrent event rate, and an additive hazards frailty model for the terminal event. A shared frailty is used to account for the association between recurrent and terminal events. An estimating equation approach is developed for the marginal and association parameters in the joint model, and the asymp...
