Cause-Specific Framework for Competing-Risk Analysis
Mansour T.A. Sharabiani, Alireza S. Mahani
Functions for combining survival curves of competing risks to produce cumulative incidence
and event-free probability functions, and for summarizing and plotting the results. Survival curves
can be either time-denominated or probability-denominated. Point estimates as well as Bayesian, sample-based
representations of survival can utilize this framework.

Numerical integration of cause-specific survival curves to arrive at cause-specific cumulative incidence functions,
with three usage modes: 1) Convenient API for parametric survival regression followed by competing-risk analysis, 2) API for
CFC, accepting user-specified survival functions in R, and 3) Same as 2, but accepting survival functions in C++.

A simple, fast algorithm to find the neighbors and similarities of users in user-based filtering systems,
to break free from the complex computation of existing similarity formulas and the ability to solve big data.
