    Dear all,
    Good day!

    I have a question concerning frailty models in survival analysis.
    We assume a gamma distribution for the frailty part of our model but our frailty is time-dependent.
    Does anybody knows the probability density function of time-dependent gamma distribution? I also wanna know its laplace transformation form.

    I would be very happy if anybody can introduce me good papers or any other references.
    Thank you.

    Best,
    Amir
