Abstract. Dependence structures between the failure time and the cause of failure are expressed in terms of the monotonicity properties of the conditional probabilities involving the cause of failure and the failure time. These properties of the conditional probabilities are used for testing four types of departures from the independence of the failure time and the cause of failure and tests based on U -statistics are proposed. In the process, a concept of concordance and discordance between a continuous and a binary variable is introduced to propose a statistical test. The proposed tests are applied to two illustrative applications. 相似文献

Testing equality of cause-specific hazard rates corresponding to m competing risks among K groups 相似文献3.
In this paper, a class of tests is developed for comparing the cause-specific hazard rates of m competing risks simultaneously in K ( 2) groups. The data available for a unit are the failure time of the unit along with the identifier of the risk claiming the failure. In practice, the failure time data are generally right censored. The tests are based on the difference between the weighted averages of the cause-specific hazard rates corresponding to each risk. No assumption regarding the dependence of the competing risks is made. It is shown that the proposed test statistic has asymptotically chi-squared distribution. The proposed test is shown to be optimal for a specific type of local alternatives. The choice of weight function is also discussed. A simulation study is carried out using multivariate Gumbel distribution to compare the optimal weight function with a proposed weight function which is to be used in practice. Also, the proposed test is applied to real data on the termination of an intrauterine device.An erratum to this article can be found at 相似文献
