ABSTRACT
Survival data is being analyzed here under the middle censoring scheme, using specifically quantile function modelling under competing risks. The use of middle censoring scheme has been shown to be very appropriate under the COVID-19 pandemic scenario. Cause-specific quantile inference under middle censoring is employed. Such quantile inferences are obtained through cumulative incidence function based on cause-specific proportional hazards model. The baseline lifetime is assumed to follow a very general parametric model namely the Weibull distribution, and is independent of the censoring mechanism. We obtain estimates of the unknown parameters and cause specific quantile functions under classical as well as a Bayesian set-up. A Monte Carlo simulation study assesses the relative performance of the different estimators. Finally, a real life data analysis is given applying the proposed methods.
