Regression Trees for Cumulative Incidence Functions

, 2020
The use of cumulative incidence functions for characterizing the risk of one type of event in the presence of others has become increasingly popular over the past decade. The problems of modeling, estimation and inference have been treated using parametric, nonparametric and semi-parametric methods.

Direct Parametric Inference for the Cumulative Incidence Function

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 2006
SummaryIn survival data that are collected from phase III clinical trials on breast cancer, a patient may experience more than one event, including recurrence of the original cancer, new primary cancer and death. Radiation oncologists are often interested in comparing patterns of local or regional recurrences alone as first events to identify a ...

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

Landmark Proportional Subdistribution Hazards Models for Dynamic Prediction of Cumulative Incidence Functions [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 2020
SummaryAn individualized dynamic risk prediction model that incorporates all available information collected over the follow-up can be used to choose an optimal treatment strategy in realtime, although existing methods have not been designed to handle competing risks.

Irradiation treatment of laryngeal cancer in a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Due to an aging population the incidence of both cardiac and tumor-related illnesses is increasing. A problem may arise if radiotherapy is necessary in close anatomic proximity to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
