We discuss models for recurrent events that incorporate both time trends and effects of past events, such as renewal-type behavior. Inference procedures, including tests for trend, are developed and illustrated on repairable-systems failure data. Simulations are used to examine the accuracy of large-sample approximations used for tests or interval estimation.
