CIF_k: The k^th cumulative incidence function.

In CompetingRisk: The Semi-Parametric Cumulative Incidence Function

Description

This function aggregates the hazards table for all type of failures and computes the point estimator of the cumulative incidence function.

Usage

CIF_k(Hazard.table, group)

Arguments

Hazard.table	An output from Lambda_k(est, x, y, group,...).
group	The name of the group covariates (if any). If specified, the cumulative incidence function will be computed for each group seperately.

Details

This function estimates the cumulative incidence function for the k^th type of failure based on the observed data. When group is specified, the cumulative hazards for the k^th type of failure will be computed for each group seperately.

Value

It returns a data frame contains time of events, cumulative incidence, cumulative hazards for each type of failure, and group indicators (if any).
