NAME

    bivrecFit --- Fitter for bivariate recurrent events

FUNCTION

The bivrecFit module contains the workhorse functions to fit bivariate event process models. Since univariate models are just a special case, they can be fit by these functions as well.

The main fitting routine is

       bivrec.agdata

and an overview of the algorithm implementation is given in the documentation for that function.

This module is organized into several submodules. The initialization module contains the routines needed to obtain initial values for the procedure. The estimation module contains estimator functions for the frailty BLUPs, dispersion parameters, and regression coefficients, which are called in a loop. The utility, fortranwrappers and ZZdebug modules are self-explanatory.
