The failure time and associated reason of failure are noted in this model. It is possible to partially observe the reasons why the competing risks model fails. In this work, where the failure time is distributed with the power hazard rate distribution, we utilize the competing risks model under partially observed reasons of failure. We develop maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters with related estimated confidence intervals based on the independent type-I censoring competing risks data. Two distinct approaches are used to construct the bootstrap point estimate and associated bootstrap confidence ranges. Analysis is done using actual type-I competing risks data that has some failure causes missing at random.
