Abstract:

Hudgens et al. (2014) developed parametric modeling of the cumulative incidence function (CIF) for interval censored competing risks data. We extend their parametric models to account for both left truncation and interval censoring. A full likelihood estimator is still valid under a mixed case interval censoring model and an independent inspection process model. However, a naive likelihood method is shown to be invalid in both settings, while that without truncation is not valid only under an the independent inspection process model. This parametric method is applied to data from the study of osteoporotic fractures (SOF) to bone mineral density (BMD) testing interval with age as time scale.
