title: Competing risk analysis for life table data with known observation times.
abstract: "Several models have been proposed for the analysis of cohort mortality in the presence of competing risks.... This paper describes a maximum likelihood approach to the analysis of follow up data in life table format for the case of two competing risks--a specific cause and its competing complement.  The model developed uses a robust survivorship assumption--the piecewise exponential--and takes into account information on time to death and time to withdrawal."  (summary in GER)
