Estimating the Cumulative Incidence Function of Dynamic Treatment Regimes
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2016 Summary Recently personalized medicine and dynamic treatment regimes have drawn considerable attention. Dynamic treatment regimes are rules that govern the treatment of subjects depending on their intermediate responses or covariates.

Weighted comparison of two cumulative incidence functions with R-CIFsmry package [PDF]
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2014 In this paper we propose a class of flexible weight functions for use in comparison of two cumulative incidence functions. The proposed weights allow the users to focus their comparison on an early or a late time period post treatment or to treat all time points with equal emphasis. These weight functions can be used to compare two cumulative incidence

Tests for Comparing Mark-Specific Hazards and Cumulative Incidence Functions
Lifetime Data Analysis, 2004 It is of interest in some applications to determine whether there is a relationship between a hazard rate function (or a cumulative incidence function) and a mark variable which is only observed at uncensored failure times. We develop nonparametric tests for this problem when the mark variable is continuous.

Prognostic factors on outcomes of follicular thyroid cancer
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2019 Purposes: We investigated the influences of prognostic factors on long-term survival of patients with follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) based on all-cause mortality and two exclusive causes of death, FTC and non-FTC.

Analysis of generalized semiparametric regression models for cumulative incidence functions with missing covariates [PDF]
Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2018 The cumulative incidence function quantifies the probability of failure over time due to a specific cause for competing risks data. The generalized semiparametric regression models for the cumulative incidence functions with missing covariates are investigated.

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019 Background Antimalarial efficacy studies in patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum are confounded by a new infection (a competing risk event) since this event can potentially preclude a recrudescent event (primary endpoint of interest).

Modeling lifetime data with multiple causes using cause specific reversed hazard rates
Statistica, 2014 In this paper we introduce and study cause specific reversed hazard rates in the context of left censored lifetime data with multiple causes. Nonparametric inference procedure for left censored lifetime data with multiple causes using cause specific ...
