Abstract: We consider, in the presence of covariates, non-independent competing risks that are subject to right censoring. We define a nonparametric estimator of the incident regression function through the generalized product-limit estimator of the conditional censorship distribution function. Under suitable conditions, we establish the almost sure uniform convergence of those estimators with an appropriate rate.
