Right on! Great feedback! I was also thinking about using competing risks to introduce company foldings.
Also parametric modeling as you mention. Try out the Gamma and see which of the family it divines.
- gwern 9y agoYeah, you could do competing risks. I see yclist.com does distinguish between 'dead' and 'exit', although your CSV doesn't. You can use 'comprsk', I remember it as being no harder to use than 'survival' when I tried it out briefly for https://www.gwern.net/DNM%20survival https://www.gwern.net/DNM%20survival . Any competing-risks model going to be very imprecise, though, since if you can't estimate the overall survival curve very precisely, you definitely can't estimate it split into multiple outcomes.
