Competing risks
Everything Red Door Analytics has published on competing risks — the packages that fit it, the tools that show it, the tutorials that work it through, and where it decided something.
More than one thing can happen first, and one of them stops the clock. Treating a competing death as censoring answers a different question — what would happen if it could not occur — which is rarely the one being asked.
Also called cumulative incidence.
A narrower method under survival analysis.

The evidence4
- Parametric estimation of the mean number of events in the presence of competing risks.
- Simulating time-to-event data from parametric distributions, custom distributions, competing-risks models, and general multistate models.
- On the choice of timescale for other cause mortality in a competing risk setting using flexible parametric survival models.
- Flexible parametric modelling of the cause-specific cumulative incidence function.
