Comments on: Randomized clinical trials and the proportional hazards model for recurrent events
Our comments will initially focus on the authors' derivation of the influence function φ for estimating β * ; we will then explore its connections with both U i pcw, pl (β) and U ai pcw, pl (β) and propose a class of weighted estimating functions for estimating β * related to the latter.
