Title: Current Status data with competing risks and missing failure types
Abstract:
Various studies on current status data with or without competing risks are present in the literature. In competing risks set up missing or uncertainty in failure types is a very common phenomenon. When observation on true failure type is not available, one observes a set of possible types containing the true cause. This gives rise to uncertainty in the true cause for the occurrence of the event of interest. As per our knowledge, the missing failure types in current status data with competing risks has not received much attention. The main purpose of this work is to focus and highlight this less-explored area of research. Throughout, for simplicity it is worked with two competing risks and both parametric and non-parametric analyses are carried out.
