A note on including time-dependent covariate in regression model for competing risks data.
Recently, regression analysis of the cumulative incidence function has gained interest in competing risks data analysis, through the model proposed by Fine and Gray (JASA 1999; 94: 496-509). In this note, we point out that inclusion of time-dependent covariates in this model can lead to serious bias. We illustrate the problems arising in such a context, using bone marrow transplant data as a wo...
متن کاملPseudo-observations for competing risks with covariate dependent censoring.
Regression analysis for competing risks data can be based on generalized estimating equations. For the case with right censored data, pseudo-values were proposed to solve the estimating equations. In this article we investigate robustness of the pseudo-values against violation of the assumption that the probability of not being lost to follow-up (un-censored) is independent of the covariates. M...
متن کاملCompeting risks regression for clustered data.
A population average regression model is proposed to assess the marginal effects of covariates on the cumulative incidence function when there is dependence across individuals within a cluster in the competing risks setting. This method extends the Fine-Gray proportional hazards model for the subdistribution to situations, where individuals within a cluster may be correlated due to unobserved s...
متن کاملParametric Estimation in a Recurrent Competing Risks Model
A resource-efficient approach to making inferences about the distributional properties of the failure times in a competing risks setting is presented. Efficiency is gained by observing recurrences of the compet- ing risks over a random monitoring period. The resulting model is called the recurrent competing risks model (RCRM) and is coupled with two repair strategies whenever the system fails. ...
متن کاملA copula model for dependent competing risks
Many popular estimators for duration models require independent competing risks or independent censoring. In contrast, copula based estimators are also consistent in presence of dependent competing risks. In this paper we suggest a computationally convenient extension of the Copula Graphic Estimator (Zheng and Klein, 1995) to a model with more than two dependent competing risks. We analyse the ...
