- $\begingroup$ (+1) Could you please explain why you chose the term "cumulative incidence" rather than e.g. "cdf"? I'm only familiar with the former in competing risk settings. $\endgroup$Ben– Ben2023-04-05 18:05:28 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2023 at 18:05
- 2$\begingroup$ @Ben it's a more general term when you're doing survival analysis. If there's censoring, for instance, you're implying that Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the curve height. Also if there is the potential for recurrent events, you can discuss whether repeated incidence is handled with, say, Nelson-Aelen estimators. $\endgroup$AdamO– AdamO2023-04-05 18:08:23 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2023 at 18:08
- $\begingroup$ This by far seems like the most appropriate approach to me. I'll have my local mathematician help me with this as it's a bit beyond me. Thank you for clarifying what the probabilities ought to be for the different time points, as this was one of the things I was having difficulty getting my head around. $\endgroup$whatbehaviour– whatbehaviour2023-04-21 08:53:52 +00:00Commented Apr 21, 2023 at 8:53

like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. machine-learning), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
