Abstract: This paper considers regression analysis of multivariate panel count data in the presence of some terminal events. Furthermore, both the observation process and the terminal event may be correlated with the recurrent event process of interest. For the problem, we present a semiparametric additive model for the mean function of the recurrent event process and an estimating equation-based inference procedure is developed for the estimation of regression parameters. In the procedure, the inverse survival probability weighting technique is used and the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the finite sample properties of the proposed approach, and the results show that the proposed procedures work well for practical situations.
