Competing risks

WIREs Computational Statistics, 2010
AbstractCompeting risks arise when a subject is exposed to many causes of failure. Data consist of the time the subject failed and an indicator of which risk caused the subject to fail. Examples in medicine include the analysis of cause to death data, the analysis of relapse and death in remission in cancer studies, or random right censoring.

DECISIONMAKING COMPETENCE AND RISK

Bioethics, 1991
Mark Wicclair criticizes Allen Buchanan's and my claim that determining an appropriate level of competence (Wicclair substitutes "decisional capacity" for "competence", the import of which I note briefly below) for health care treatment decisionmaking involves balancing respecting a patient's self-determination and protecting his or her well-being ...

Competency and Risk‐relativity

Bioethics, 2001
In this paper I discuss the view that the appropriate concept of competence is a decision‐relative one: that a person may be competent to make one decision but not another. The argument that I present is that neither of the two competing theories supporting the decision‐relative approach, internalism and externalism, can provide a coherent explanation ...

Cumulative Incidence in Competing Risks Data and Competing Risks Regression Analysis

Clinical Cancer Research, 2007
Abstract 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 ...

Competing Risks in Low-Risk Breast Cancer

American Society of Clinical Oncology Educational Book, 2013
In recent years a growing amount of data on prognostic features of breast cancer has allowed for identification of tumors with a very low risk of recurrence. Markers used to predict the risk of distant spread include classic clinicopathologic features as well as newer tumor gene signatures, which have been validated and are being used in cohorts of ...

A DYNAMIC COMPETING RISKS MODEL

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 1999
We consider a series system with p components where the failure rate of each component depends on the residual number of defects present. Successive tasks are given to the system with each task completion time independent of each component failure time. Based on the outcomes over a fixed testing period, the asymptotic properties of the estimators

Familial Risk and Child Competence

Child Development, 1983
Components of familial risk are examined in the context of a 4-year longitudinal study of children with mentally ill mothers. The risk factors examined are parental mental health, social status, parental perspectives, and family stress. The interactions among the risk factors were found to be complex in nature and different for child cognitive and ...

Longevity Complementarities Under Competing Risks

American Economic Review, 1999
Many of the high-expenditure health programs established by international organizations or national and subnational governments involve disease-specific interventions, such as measles vaccinations, HIV education programs, mammogram screening, malaria prevention, and lung cancer research.

NONPARAMETRIC ESTIMATION FOR COMPETING RISKS

Australian Journal of Statistics, 1993
SummaryThis paper considers the estimation of the ratio of two scale parameters when the data are censored. It emphasises characteristics of the asymptotic variance under censoring from a practical point of view. The estimator proposed by Padgett & Wei (1982) for the two‐sample scale model is extended to the competing risks model.
