  <dc:title>Generalized Competing Event Models with Lunn-McNeil Testing</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package gcemod version 0.3.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fits generalized competing event (GCE) models and estimates
    covariate effects on omega-plus, the ratio of the hazard for an
    event of interest to the hazard for a competing event, on both the
    cause-specific (Cox) and subdistribution (Fine-Gray) hazard scales.
    Confidence intervals and p-values are obtained from the Lunn-McNeil (1995)
    stacked (augmented) data approach. The package builds GCE risk scores from
    the model linear predictor, identifies risk-score cutpoints that maximize
    the separation in omega-plus between groups, and produces cumulative
    incidence ("alligator") plots by risk group and calibration plots of
    predicted versus observed omega-plus. It also compares covariate effects
    across the primary, competing, and total (composite) events, and estimates
    covariate effects on the ratio of cumulative incidence functions (a
    cumulative-incidence-scale GCE model). Methods follow Carmona et al. (2014)
