On pseudo-values for regression analysis in competing risks models.

摘要: For regression on state and transition probabilities in multi-state models Andersen et al. (Biometrika 90:15–27, 2003) propose a technique based jackknife pseudo-values. In this article we analyze the pseudo-values suggested for competing risks prove some conjectures regarding their asymptotics (Klein Andersen, Biometrics 61:223–229, 2005). The key is second order von Mises expansion of Aalen-Johansen estimator which yields an appropriate representation method illustrated with data from clinical study total joint replacement. application consider comparison estimates obtained Fine Gray approach (J Am Stat Assoc 94:496–509, 1999) also time-dependent solutions pseudo-value equations.
