Competing risk model and its application in assessing the progression of pneumoconiosis.
In this paper a more general competing risk model is developed for dealing with censored data with multiple outcomes, as the result of the competition with other risk factors. More reasonable results are obtained by applying the model in the probability and the average duration of pneumoconiosis progress from stage I to stage II in Shanxi Province.
