Nonparametric estimation of bivariate failure time associations in the presence of a competing risk
Nonparametric estimation of bivariate failure time associations in the presence of a competing risk
Most research on the study of associations among paired failure times has either assumed time invariance or been based on complex measures or estimators. Little has accommodated competing risks. This paper targets the conditional cause-specific hazard ratio, henceforth called the cause-specific cross ratio, a recent modification of the conditional hazard …
