Abstract: With great interest we read the recent publication of Sohn et al. [Sohn, S.Y., Chang, I.S., Moon, T.H., 2007. Random effects Weibull regression model for occupational lifetime. European Journal of Operational Research 179, 124-131] on a Weibull regression model with random effects for modelling occupational lifetime. We congratulate Sohn and colleagues on their comprehensive and clearly written paper. Nevertheless, we would like to comment on two points, the first regarding the moments of the underlying Weibull distribution, the second regarding the relations of Sohn's model to the class of frailty models.
