The competing risks model is useful in settings in which individuals (or units) may die (or fail) due to a number of different causes. It can also be the case that for some of the items the failure cause is known only up to a subgroup of all causes in which case we say that the failure is group masked. A widely used approach for competing risks data with and without masking involves the specifi...

In the paper the ensemble of dipolar trees for analysis of competing risks is proposed. The tool is build on the base of the learning sets, which contain the data from clinical studies following patients response for a given treatment. In case of competing risks many types of response are investigated. The proposed method is able to cope with incomplete (censored) observations and as a result, ...

The concordance probability is a widely used measure to assess discrimination of prognostic models with binary and survival endpoints. We formally define the concordance probability for a prognostic model of the absolute risk of an event of interest in the presence of competing risks and relate it to recently proposed time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve measure...

Consider semi-competing risks data (two times to concurrent events are studied but only one of them is right-censored by the other one) where the link between the times Y and C to non-terminal and terminal events respectively, is modeled by a family of Archimedean copulas. Moreover, both Y and C are submitted to an independent right censoring variable D. A new methodology based on a maximum lik...

In reliability, failure data often correspond to competing risks, where several failure modes can cause a unit to fail. This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) for pairwise comparison with competing risks data, assuming that the failure modes are independent. These failure modes could be the same or different among the two groups, and these can be both observed and unobserv...

Studies in cardiology often record the time to multiple disease events such as death, myocardial infarction, or hospitalization. Competing risks methods allow for the analysis of the time to the first observed event and the type of the first event. They are also relevant if the time to a specific event is of primary interest but competing events may preclude its occurrence or greatly alter the ...

We introduce a new approach to competing risks using random forests. Our method is fully non-parametric and can be used for selecting event-specific variables and for estimating the cumulative incidence function. We show that the method is highly effective for both prediction and variable selection in high-dimensional problems and in settings such as HIV/AIDS that involve many competing risks.

We consider the problem of modelling the failure-time distribution, where failure is due to two distinct causes. One approach is to adopt a two-component mixture model where the components correspond to the two di€erent causes of failure. However, routine application of this approach with typical parametric forms for the component densities proves to be inadequate in modelling the time to a re-...

The need to develop treatments and/or programs specific to a disease requires the analysis of outcomes to be specific to that disease. Such endpoints as heart failure, death due to a specific disease, or control of local disease in cancer may become impossible to observe due to a prior occurrence of a different type of event (such as death from another cause). The event which hinders or changes...
