Abstract:
|
The analysis of competing risk data is notoriously difficult. It is well understood that one should be very careful if the focus is the cumulative incidence function corresponding to a primary cause. It is tempting to believe that shifting focus to cause specific hazards alleviates this problem, but this is false if interest is causal understanding of a given treatment. We study a new estimand that has a causal interpretation and develop a double robust estimation procedure. We illustrate the method with simulations and also a real data analysis.
