Bounds on net survival probabilities for dependent competing risks.
Bounds on the marginal survival function based on data from a competing-risks experiment are obtained. These bounds require an investigator to specify a range of possible concordances for the times to occurrences of the competing risks. These bounds are tighter than those of Peterson (1976, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 73, 11-13).
