Abstract. When competing risks are present, the appropriate estimate of the failure
probabilities is the cumulative incidence. stcompet creates new
variables containing the estimate of this function, its standard error, and
ln(−ln) transformed confidence bounds. Two examples are presented to
illustrate the use of the new command and some key features of the
cumulative incidence.
