MULTIPLE FAILURE CAUSES AND OBSERVATIONS OF TIME DEPENDENT COVARIABLES

A.L. Hempenius and P.G.H. Mulder

Statistica Neerlandica, 1986, vol. 40, issue 1, 47-63

Abstract: In this paper firstly a summary of the theory of competing risks is presented; it shows how cause specific failure time distributions, failure probabilities and failure rate functions relate to the joint survivor function in the presence of various competing failure causes. This first part of the paper gives the insight useful for the second part, which concerns the way in which the dependency of the failure process on given time–dependent observations of covariables is specified and estimated. An application is presented briefly.
