AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Recurrent event gap times data frequently arise in biomedical studies
and often more than one type of event is of interest. To evaluate the effects of
covariates on the marginal recurrent event hazards functions, there exist two types
of hazards models: the multiplicative hazards model and the additive hazards model.
In the paper, we propose a more flexible additive-multiplicative hazards model for
multiple type of recurrent gap times data, wherein some covariates are assumed to be
additive while others are multiplicative. An estimating equation approach is presented
to estimate the regression parameters. We establish asymptotic properties of the
proposed estimators.</p>
