چکیده
Abstract We consider estimation of the cumulative incidence function (CIF) in competing risks Cox model. study three methods. Methods 1 and 2 are existing methods while method 3 is a newly proposed method. Method constructed so that sum CIF’s across all event types at last observed time guaranteed, assuming no ties, to be equal 1. The performance examined via simulation, they illustrated on data from field computer code comprehension. exhibits comparable terms bias variance, better than confidence interval coverage rates.

Cumulative incidence in competing risks data and competing risks regression analysis.
Competing risks occur commonly in medical research. For example, both treatment-related mortality and disease recurrence are important outcomes of interest and well-known competing risks in cancer research. In the analysis of competing risks data, methods of standard survival analysis such as the Kaplan-Meier method for estimation of cumulative incidence, the log-rank test for comparison of cum...
متن کاملCumulative incidence estimates in the presence of competing risks.
When competing risks are present, the appropriate estimate of the failure probabilities is the cumulative incidence. stcompet creates new variables containing the estimate of this function, its standard error, and ln(− ln) transformed confidence bounds. Two examples are presented to illustrate the use of the new command and some key features of the cumulative incidence.
متن کاملComparison of competing risks models based on cumulative incidence function in analyzing time to cardiovascular diseases
BACKGROUND Competing risks arise when the subject is exposed to more than one cause of failure. Data consists of the time that the subject failed and an indicator of which risk caused the subject to fail. METHODS With three approaches consisting of Fine and Gray, binomial, and pseudo-value, all of which are directly based on cumulative incidence function, cardiovascular disease data of the Is...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of Semiparametric Transformation Models for the Cumulative Incidence of Competing Risks.
The cumulative incidence is the probability of failure from the cause of interest over a certain time period in the presence of other risks. A semiparametric regression model proposed by Fine and Gray (1999) has become the method of choice for formulating the effects of covariates on the cumulative incidence. Its estimation, however, requires modeling of the censoring distribution and is not st...
متن کاملRestricted estimation of the cumulative incidence functions corresponding to competing risks
In the competing risks problem, an important role is played by the cumulative incidence function (CIF), whose value at time t is the probability of failure by time t from a particular type of failure in the presence of other risks. In some cases there are reasons to believe that the CIFs due to various types of failure are linearly ordered. El Barmi et al. [3] studied the estimation and inferen...
