There has been some interest in survival models with additive hazard function (e.g., the Aalen's linear model), which is considered an alternative or supplementary model to the most common Cox model in analysis of censored data. One advantage of the Aalen's model is to allow the influence of each covariate to vary separately over time. In this article, an additive survival model, based on counting processes, is presented introducing additive frailties into the intensity in order to account for the heterogeneity of the data due to unobserved risk factors or dependence among individuals in study. The additive frailty model is analyzed under a Bayesian point of view and illustrated by two well-known data sets.
