This study introduces new statistical methods to analyze semi-competing risks data, assessing how dependence varies across different groups. The findings offer improved tools for understanding complex biomedical data relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Survival Analysis
  • Biomedical Data Analysis

Background:

  • Assessing dependence in bivariate failure time data is crucial in biomedical research.
  • Semi-competing risks data present unique challenges in analyzing dependent event times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop statistical methods for inferring dependence in semi-competing risks data across strata of a discrete covariate.
  • To propose rank statistics for testing the constancy of association across these strata.

Main Methods:

  • Development of rank statistics to test for association constancy.
  • Derivation of asymptotic properties for the proposed test statistics.
  • Novel re-sampling techniques for variance calculation.
  • Methods for combining test statistics to assess covariate effects on censoring and association.
