Abstract:
Mixed responses within clusters are becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon.
However, this scenario is a complex one. This research is based
on survival and count response data which occur frequently in medical
studies. In the literature, there is no satisfactory goodness of fit test for a
joint model of these two responses within a cluster setting. Therefore, the
main objective of this study is to develop a GOF test for this scenario.
Simulation studies were used to examine the type I error rate and the
power of the test. An example was used to display the practicality of
the test.
