| contents | Competing risks data refer to situations where the occurrence of one event pre- cludes the possibility of other events happening, resulting in multiple mutually exclusive events. This data type is commonly encountered in medical research and clinical trials, exploring the interplay between different events and informing decision-making in fields such as healthcare and epidemiology. We develop a penal- ized variable selection procedure to handle such complex data in an interval-censored setting. We consider a broad class of semiparametric transformation regression mod- els, including popular models such as proportional and non-proportional hazards models. To promote sparsity and select variables specific to each event, we employ the broken adaptive ridge (BAR) penalty. This approach allows us to simultane- ously select important risk factors and estimate their effects for each event under investigation. We establish the oracle property of the BAR procedure and evaluate its performance through simulation studies. The proposed method is applied to a real-life HIV cohort dataset, further validating its applicability in practice. |
