In this paper, studies of competing risks model are considered when the observations are left-truncated and right-censored data. When the failure times of the competing risks are distributed by a generalized inverted exponential model with same scale but different shape parameters with partially observed failure causes, statistical inference for the unknown model parameters is discussed from classical and Bayesian approaches, respectively. Maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters, along with associated existence and uniqueness, are established, and the asymptotic likelihood theory is also used to construct the confidence interval via the observed Fisher information matrix. Moreover, Bayesian estimates and the corresponding highest posterior density credible intervals are also obtained based a flexible Gamma-Beta prior, and a Gibbs sampling technique is constructed to compute associated estimates. Further, under a general practical assumption with order-restriction parameter case, classical and Bayesian estimations are also established under order restriction situations, respectively. Extensive Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out to investigate the performances of our results and two real-life examples are analyzed to show the applicability of the proposed methods. |
