Abstract: | In the Competing risk analysis gi(t) the failure rates hi(t) and gi(t) (as defined ) are, in general, not the same. However, of the survival times due to different causes are independent, then gi (t) = hi (t) this is a model studied by chiang (1961). In this note we have exhibited some counterexamples illustrating the relationships between gi (t)= hi (t) and the independence of survival times. |
