A quantile based test for comparing cumulative incidence functions of competing risks models

In the present note, we develop a nonparametric testing procedure for testing equality of cumulative incidence functions of competing risks models using quantile functions. Asymptotic properties of the test statistic are discussed. Simulation studies and real data examples illustrate the practical utility of the procedure.
