Nelson discussed a method of estimating the cumulative mean function for identically distributed processes of recurrent events. We show that a similar approach can be used with more general models, including regression, The key idea is to use point estimates based on Poisson models and to develop robust variance estimates that are valid more generally. The methods are illustrated on reliability and warranty data.
