Analysis of joint modeling of longitudinal zero-inflated power series and zero-inflated time to event data

In longitudinal studies measurements are often collected on different types of responses for each individual. These may contain several longitudinally measured responses (such as the CD4 count) and the time at which an event occurs (e.g., HIV, death, or dropout from the study). These outcomes are often separately analyzed. Compared to separate modeling, joint modeling and simultaneous analysis allows for more coherent, robust analysis and may produce a better insight into the process under study. However, there has always been difficulty to the analyst that finding a proper multi-variable joint distribution for linking responses. In this article, we survey the zero-inflated property for longitudinal count and time to event data. We apply a member of the family of power series distributions (PSDs) and the Cox proportional hazard regression model (Cox PH) with Weibull baseline hazard rate, respectively, for these correlated responses. Also we consider both right and left censoring mechanisms in time to event process. This modeling strategy leads to expand the class of joint models and presents some new joint models which, as far as we know, have not yet been investigated by other researchers. The parameters in the joint model are estimated by using likelihood techniques.
