A marginal additive haz- ards model is proposed without specifying the association of the individuals within the same cluster. The relationship among the gap times for the same individual is also left unspecified. An estimating equation-based inference procedure is developed for the model parameters, and the asymptotic proper- ties of the resulting estimators are established. In addition, a lack-of-fit test is presented to assess the adequacy of the model. The finite sample behavior of the proposed estimators is evaluated through simulation studies, and an application to a clinic study on chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is illustrated.展开更多
