We introduce relational hyperevent models (RHEM) as a generalization of relational event models to events occurring on hyperedges involving any number of actors. RHEM can specify time-varying event rates for the full space of directed or…

The joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data is an active area of statistics research that has received a lot of attention in the recent years. More recently, a new and attractive application of this type of models has been to…

The study of relational events, which are interactions occurring between actors over time, has gained significant traction recently. Traditional relational event models typically focus on modelling the occurrence and sequence of events…
