Bayesian methods for missing covariates in cure rate models

MH Chen, JG Ibrahim, SR Lipsitz - Lifetime Data Analysis, 2002 - Springer
We propose methods for Bayesian inference for missing covariate data with a novel class of
semi-parametric survival models with a cure fraction. We allow the missing covariates to be …

Fitting semiparametric cure models

Y Peng - Computational statistics & data analysis, 2003 - Elsevier
Survival data with a sizable cure fraction are commonly encountered in some cancer clinical
researches and the semiparametric proportional hazards cure model has been recently …

Likelihood inference based on EM algorithm for the destructive length-biased Poisson cure rate model with Weibull lifetime

S Pal, N Balakrishnan - Communications in Statistics-Simulation …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
In this article, we consider the destructive length-biased Poisson cure rate model, proposed
by Rodrigues et al., that presents a realistic and interesting interpretation of the biological …

A new cure rate model with flexible competing causes with applications to melanoma and transplantation data

J Leão, M Bourguignon, DI Gallardo… - Statistics in …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
In this article, we introduce a long‐term survival model in which the number of competing
causes of the event of interest follows the zero‐modified geometric (ZMG) distribution. Such …

Analysis of cure rate survival data under proportional odds model

Y Gu, D Sinha, S Banerjee - Lifetime data analysis, 2011 - Springer
Due to significant progress in cancer treatments and management in survival studies
involving time to relapse (or death), we often need survival models with cured fraction to …

A new semiparametric estimation method for accelerated hazards mixture cure model

J Zhang, Y Peng, H Li - Computational statistics & data analysis, 2013 - Elsevier
The semiparametric accelerated hazards mixture cure model provides a useful alternative to
analyze survival data with a cure fraction if covariates of interest have a gradual effect on the …

Bayesian semiparametric cure rate model with an unknown threshold

LE Nieto‐Barajas, G Yin - Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a Bayesian semiparametric model for survival data with a cure fraction. We
explicitly consider a finite cure time in the model, which allows us to separate the cured and …

Lognormal lifetimes and likelihood-based inference for flexible cure rate models based on COM-Poisson family

N Balakrishnan, S Pal - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2013 - Elsevier
Recently, a new cure rate survival model has been proposed by considering the Conway–
Maxwell Poisson distribution as the distribution of the competing cause variable. This model …

Estimating baseline distribution in proportional hazards cure models

Y Peng - Computational statistics & data analysis, 2003 - Elsevier
Semiparametric proportional hazards cure models have been proposed recently for survival
data from some clinical trials where cure is a possibility. However, it is known that the …

An empirical comparison of parametric and semiparametric cure models

Y Peng, KC Carriere - Biometrical Journal: Journal of …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
