β¦ Synopsis
discounting models have been proved very important for decision making under conditions of uncertainty in many applied fields. This paper is mainly devoted to the establishment of properties for the distribution of a stochastic discounting model. The paper, also, provides applications of this model in assessing competing risks. (~) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

## Present-value models are currently available for both single cash flows and continuous uniform cash flows under uncertain timing. Recent work by the authors has concentrated mainly on establishing theoretical results concerning the conditions under which unimodality will be introduced into the
In this paper, we study the weak convergence of Dirichlet measures on the class constituted by vectors of subprobability measures such that the sum of its components is a probability measure on a complete separable metric space. This vectorial class of subprobabilities appears in the context of the
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
