Semiparametric competing risks regression under interval censoring using the R package intccr.
Competing risk data are frequently interval-censored in real-world applications, that is, the exact event time is not precisely observed but is only known to lie between two time points such as clinic visits. This type of data requires special handling because the actual event times are unknown. To deal with this problem we have developed an easy-to-use open-source statistical software. ⋯ The R package intccr provides a convenient and flexible software for the analysis of the cumulative incidence function based on interval-censored competing risks data.
