Consistency of the Kaplan-Meier Estimator of the Survival Function in Competiting Risks

Résumé

Introduction: In this article, we only focus on the probability distributions of the breakdown time whose causes are known, and we consider a partition of the observations into subgroups according to each of the causes as defined in Njamen and Ngatchou [1]. By adapting the stochastic processes developed by Aalen [2, 3], we derive a Kaplan-Meier [4] nonparametric estimator for the survival function in competiting risks. Result & Discussion: In a region where there is at least one observation, we prove on one hand that this new nonparametric estimator is unbiased in competiting risk and on the other hand, using the Lenglart inequality, we establish its uniform consistency in competiting risks.
