reReg

Regression models for recurrent event data

reReg implements a collection of regression models for recurrent event process and failure time. The package is still under active development.

Installation

You can install and load reReg from CRAN using

install.packages("reReg")
library(reReg)

You can install reReg from github with:

## install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("stc04003/reReg", ref = "main")
