R help - Feb 2009 - Competing risks adjusted for covariates

Dear R-users

Has anybody implemented a function/package that will compute an individual's
risk of an event in the presence of competing risks, adjusted for the
individual's covariates?

The only thing that seems to come close is the cuminc function from cmprsk
package, but I would like to adjust for more than one covariate (it allows you
to stratify by a single grouping vector).

Any help/tips will be extremely appreciated.

Check out the crr() function in the same package:

library(cmprsk)
?crr

You could try the prodlim package.
