  <dc:title>Weighted NPMLE for Recurrent Events with a Competing Terminal
Event</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package wnpmle version 0.1.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides regression modeling and prediction for the marginal
    mean of recurrent events in the presence of a competing terminal event
    using the weighted nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (wNPMLE)
    of Bellach and Kosorok (2026)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.25934&gt;. Two classes of transformation
    models are implemented: Box-Cox transformation models and logarithmic
    transformation models. These extend the proportional means model of
    Ghosh and Lin (2002) &lt;doi:10.17615/pt0g-y207&gt; and the transformation
    model framework of Zeng and Lin (2006)
    &lt;doi:10.1093/biomet/93.3.627&gt;. Parameter estimation is performed using
    automatic differentiation through the Template Model Builder (TMB)
    framework. Standard errors are computed using sandwich variance
    estimators that account for estimation of the inverse-probability
    censoring weights following Bellach, Kosorok, Rüschendorf and Fine
    (2019) &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1401540&gt;.</dc:description>
