    This study introduces a log-linear modeling system for competing-risks data analysis. It simplifies data display and model comparison for failure rates with discrete covariates.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Survival Analysis
    • Statistical Modeling

    Background:

    • Competing-risks data presents unique analytical challenges.
    • Traditional methods may not adequately handle censored observations and discrete covariates.
    • Accurate modeling of cause-specific failure rates is crucial in many fields.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a general system of log-linear modeling for analyzing competing-risks data.
    • To accommodate discrete covariates and censored observations within a unified framework.
    • To provide a computationally efficient and interpretable approach for survival analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing multidimensional contingency table techniques to analyze step-function approximated cause-specific failure rates.

  • Summarizing failure counts and follow-up time in arrays based on failure type, time interval, and covariate value.
  • Employing iterative proportional fitting for maximum likelihood estimation and goodness-of-fit tests.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed log-linear model system effectively analyzes competing-risks data with discrete covariates.
    • Censored observations are appropriately handled within the modeling framework.
    • The method offers a simple data display, computational ease, and explicit goodness-of-fit assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • Log-linear modeling provides a flexible and powerful tool for competing-risks analysis.
    • The approach facilitates model fitting, comparison, and interpretation.
    • Extensions accommodate stochastic and quantitative covariates, enhancing its applicability.
