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 study the large-sample properties of a class of parametric mixture models with covariates for competing risks. The models allow general distributions for the survival times and incorporate the idea of long-term survivors. Asymptotic results are obtained under a commonly assumed independent censor
In the competing risks set up with two dependent competing risks let F(z, y) be the joint probability distribution of (X, Y), the notional times to failure under the two risks. Actual independent obaervations are ( T i , & ) , i=l, 2, ..., n where Tf=min(Xi, Yi) and & = I ( X c a Y f ) . To test Ho:
