2 STATISTICS IN PRACTICE Advisory Editors Stephen Senn University of Glasgow, UK Marian Scott University of Glasgow, UK Peter Bloomfield North Carolina State University, USA Founding Editor Vic Barnett Nottingham Trent University, UK Statistics in Practice is an important international series of texts which provide detailed coverage of statistical concepts, methods and worked case studies in specific fields of investigation and study. With sound motivation and many worked practical examples, the books show in down-to-earth terms how to select and use an appropriate range of statistical techniques in a particular practical field within each title s special topic area. The books provide statistical support for professionals and research workers across a range of employment fields and research environments. Subject areas covered include medicine and pharmaceutics; industry, finance and commerce; public services; the earth and environmental sciences, and so on. The books also provide support to students studying statistical courses applied to the above areas. The demand for graduates to be equipped for the work environment has led to such courses becoming increasingly prevalent at universities and colleges. It is our aim to present judiciously chosen and well-written workbooks to meet everyday practical needs. Feedback of views from readers will be most valuable to monitor the success of this aim. A complete list of titles in this series appears at the end of the volume.

10 Preface This book describes the methodology for the analysis of competing risks from the applied perspective. Although most of the examples are drawn from medical research, situations involving competing risks occur in many other areas, such as sociology, economics and engineering. Chapter 1 is a non-mathematical introduction to the topic of competing risks. The problems involved in the analysis of competing risks need to be understood by both the statistician and the scientist. Thus, this chapter gives enough detail to enable a meaningful discussion to take place between the scientist and the applied statistician. Some general techniques for survival analysis are included to facilitate the understanding of the theory of competing risks (Chapter 2). Chapters 3 6 cover the analysis of competing risks using nonparametric or semiparametric techniques. The sample size calculations under different scenarios are presented in Chapter 7. A brief overview of other aspects of the analysis of competing risks is included in Chapter 8, and examples are provided in Chapter 9 to complement the material in Chapter 1. Although Chapters 2 8 contain a certain amount of mathematical detail, an understanding of the concepts can be achieved through studying the examples given. For ease of exposition, subscripts are omitted whenever possible. Appendix A contains the mathematical proofs which were considered too elaborate to be included in the respective chapters. Details on how to perform the analyses are included in each chapter and are supplemented with R functions and SAS macros incorporated in Appendix B. For those readers who wish to extend their knowledge of the topic of competing risks, references to current theoretical developments are provided at the end of each chapter. xi

12 Acknowledgements I would first like to express my warmest gratitude to Ellen Maki whose participation in shaping this book was crucial. Ellen contributed substantially to Chapters 2 and 4 and had many suggestions throughout. Richard Hill s help was invaluable. He thoroughly reviewed the material and generously shared his experience and expertise. I thank Janet Raboud for her careful reading and the highly competent advice she gave me. Richard and Janet s helpful comments contributed considerably to enhancing the clarity of the presentation of the material. I would also like to acknowledge the input given by Gina Lockwood and Ruth Croxford who kindly reviewed parts of this manuscript. Finally, I express my appreciation to the anonymous reviewers who read the manuscript and made many helpful comments and suggestions. Special thanks go to Tony Panzarella who, as the manager of the Biostatistics Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital/Ontario Cancer Institute, reviewed the work and encouraged this endeavour from its earliest stages. The datasets used were from the Princess Margaret Hospital, a leading cancer centre in North America. I appreciate the generosity of the researchers, Mary Gospodarowicz, Anthony Fyles and Hans Messner, who graciously agreed to let me use their datasets as examples. It was a pleasure to work with the team at Wiley, notably Rob Calver, who sowed the seeds for this book, and Kathryn Sharples, Simon Lightfoot and Wendy Hunter, who diligently helped me accomplish this project. Last, but not least, I wish to thank my husband, Alex, whose help and support gave me the necessary confidence to continue. xiii
