TLDR

The factor copula model is extended to deal with right-censored event time data grouped in clusters, allowing for clusters to have variable sizes ranging from small to large and intracluster dependence to be flexibly modeled by any parametric family of bivariate copulas, thus encompassing a wide range of dependence structures.
