Survival Analysis for Competing Risks Problems

초록

Competing risks problems are often found in various applications such as clinical trials, epidemiological studies, reliability problems, and econometrics where multiple failure causes are simultaneously competing for the ultimate failure and incomplete observations are obtained. Moeschberger and Klein(1995) provided a survey of dependent competing risks problem via a thorough review of statistical literature. The purpose of this paper is to update Moeschberger and Klein(1995)'s review with statistical methods recently developed for competing risks problems without the independence assumption.
