We propose a Poisson modelling approach to random effects Cox proportional hazards models. Specifically we describe methods of statistical inference for a class of random effects Cox models which accommodate a wide range of nested random effects distributions. The orthodox BLUP approach to...

Information inequalities in a general sequential model for stochastic processes are presented by applying the approach to estimation through estimating functions. Using this approach, Bayesian versions of the information inequalities are also obtained. In particular, exponential-family processes...
