Nonparametric quantile inference with competing risks data
竞争风险数据的非参数分位数推断
A conceptually simple quantile inference procedure is proposed for cause-specific failure probabilities with competing risks data. The quantiles are defined using the cumulative incidence function, which is intuitively meaningful in the competing–risks set–up. We establish the uniform consistency and weak convergence of a nonparametric estimator of this quantile function. These results form the theoretical basis for extensions of standard one–sample and two–sample quantile…
