Description: Parameter estimation for the general class of
        semiparametric models for recurrent event data proposed by Peña
        and Hollander (2004, <ISBN:978-1-4020-7737-6>). The model
        incorporates an effective age function encoding the impact of
        interventions after each event occurrence, the effect of
        accumulating event occurrences, a link function for possibly
        time-dependent covariates, and optional gamma frailties to
        induce dependence among inter-event times. It also fits the
        extension for cancer relapses of González et al. (2005)
        <doi:10.1002/sim.2410>. Estimation is performed by profile
        likelihood, with an expectation-maximization algorithm for the
        frailty model, and the package provides descriptive, diagnostic
        and predictive tools for the fitted models.
