Using the idea of inverse probability weighting, we first give a weighted estimating equation for an additive-multiplicative hazards model under generalized case-cohort designs with multiple type event data in this paper. The resulting estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. Some numerical simulation experiments show that the generalized case-cohort designs is applicable when the incidence of disease is high. Finally, a real example is illustrated to show its theoretical significance and application value.
