In this work we introduce a new frailty model for clustered survival data using the Generalized Inverse- Gaussian (GIG) distribution for the frailty. Assuming this distribution implies in a exible model that is mathematically advantageous since closed expressions are avaliable for the unconditional survival and density functions. The parametric and semiparametric versions of the GIG frailty model are presented. We focus on the semiparametric approach that is based on the piecewise exponential distribution. An EM algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters under this approach. The exibility of the proposed model comes from working with a two-parameter frailty distribution. One of the parameters will determine the frailty distri...
