Across different types of lifetime studies, whether it be in the medical or engineering sciences, the possibility of competing causes of failures needs to be addressed. Typically referred to as competing risks, in this article we consider progressively type-II censored competing risks data when the lifetimes are assumed to come from a linear exponential distribution. We develop likelihood inference and demonstrate the performance of the estimators via an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. We also provide an illustrative example using a small data set.

线性指数分布的渐进式II型删失竞争风险数据

在医学或工程学等不同类型的寿命研究中，都需要解决导致故障的相互竞争的可能性。通常将其称为竞争风险，在本文中，当寿命被认为来自线性指数分布时，我们将考虑逐步进行II型删失的竞争风险数据。我们通过广泛的蒙特卡洛模拟研究来发展似然推断并证明估计器的性能。我们还提供了一个使用较小数据集的说明性示例。
