Generation of survival time
CSHs
EVENT
Study data were simulated using the cause-specific hazards method according to the procedure presented by BeyersmannThe generation of the survival time The The survival time T for each group was generated with all cause hazard After generating the time, a binomial experiment was performed to decide the failure of the event of interest with the probability of The CSHs were considered such that they could generate approximately 50% of the event of interest and 20% of the competing event. 1000 data sets with 500 patients were simulated and randomized to either experimental or standard treatment groups with a 1:1 allocation scheme, to see if the methods provide accurate results on average. For each patient, entrance time was generated from a uniform distribution between 0 and 20 months and the end of study was considered 30 or 90 months. Only administrative censoring was considered in this study.
