The identifiability problem in Competing Risks is well known. In particular, it implies that independent action or otherwise of the risks cannot be inferred from data alone. However, Crowder (1996) showed that, in the case of purely discrete failure times, an inference can be made. An algebraic criterion was derived which bears essentially on the independence in question. The condition was presented in a theoretical setting but it was pointed out that the quantities involved can be estimated from data and that, therefore, there is the potential to develop practical tests for the hypothesis of independence. It is the purpose of this paper to construct such a test.
