Partial sufficient dimension reduction on joint model of recurrent and terminal events

Joint modeling of recurrent and terminal events has attracted considerable interest and extensive investigations by many authors. The assumption of low-dimensional covariates has been usually applied in the existing studies, which is however inapplicable in many practical situations. In this paper, we consider a partial sufficient dimension reduction approach for a joint model with high-dimensional covariates. Some simulations as well as three real data applications are presented to confirm and assess the performance of the proposed model and approach.
