Analysis of Competing Risks by Using Bayesian Smoothing

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2000, vol. 27, issue 4, 605-617

Abstract: We consider the competing risks set‐up. In many practical situations, the conditional probability of the cause of failure given the failure time is of direct interest. We propose to model the competing risks by the overall hazard rate and the conditional probabilities rather than the cause‐specific hazards. We adopt a Bayesian smoothing approach for both quantities of interest. Illustrations are given at the end.
