Weibull distribution parameters governing simulated population and study data under six simulation scenarios, defined by combinations of three Weibull shape specifications and two log (study/population) hazard ratios β.

Data	Parameter	1: Weibull	2: Decreasing cause‐specific relative hazard	3: Rapidly decreasing cause‐specific relative hazard
General population	α 0	(1.7, 1.7)	(1.5, 2)	(1.5, 4.5)

	Mean	24.04	17.58	26.96
Study group	α	(1.7, 1.7)	(1.5, 2)	(1.5, 4.5)
