Abstract
Interval-censored time to event data occur in survival analysis when the event time is only known to fall into an interval and these intervals often overlap with each other. Correlated survival data occur when individuals under study are clustered or experience multiple events of interest. For correlated interval-censored data, we study Bayesian parametric frailty models and Bayesian nonparametric frailty models with Dirichlet process mixtures. Statistical analysis and model selection methods based on Monte Carlo simulation are developed. Simulation studies and the analysis of bivariate interval-censored age at onset of puberty illustrate the performance and applications of the proposed methodologies.
