    This study introduces a new, well-documented computer program for multiple decrement life table analysis. This tool addresses a gap in available software for analyzing survival data with competing risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Survival Analysis
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Life table analysis is a traditional method for survival time distribution when parametric models are unsuitable.
    • Chiang formalized life table analysis within a Markov chain framework, enabling parameter estimation and extensions for competing risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a newly developed, generally available, and well-documented computer program for multiple decrement life table analyses.
    • To provide a software solution for complex survival data analysis, including competing risks and follow-up studies.

    Main Methods:

    • The paper details a computer program developed at the Research Triangle Institute.
    • The program implements methods for multiple decrement analyses, building on theoretical frameworks like Chiang's Markov chain approach.
