Current
status data occur in many studies and in this case, each subject is observed
only once. Furthermore, the distributions of observation times may be different for subjects in different treatment groups. This paper focuses on current
status recurrent event data that concern occurrence rates of certain recurrent
events such as disease infections and discuss non parametric comparison of
several treatment groups. For the problem, two new tests procedures are
proposed and a simulation study is conducted and shows that they are more
efficient than the existing ones. An illustrative example on lung tumors is
provided.
