Correlated destructive generalized power series cure rate models and associated inference with an application to a cutaneous melanoma data

P Borges, J Rodrigues, N Balakrishnan - Computational Statistics & Data …, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose a new cure rate survival model, which extends the model of
Rodrigues et al.(2011) by incorporating a structure of dependence between the initiated …

Variable selection in semiparametric cure models based on penalized likelihood, with application to breast cancer clinical trials

X Liu, Y Peng, D Tu, H Liang - Statistics in medicine, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Survival data with a sizable cure fraction are commonly encountered in cancer research.
The semiparametric proportional hazards cure model has been recently used to analyze …

Random effects in promotion time cure rate models

CMC Lopes, H Bolfarine - Computational statistics & data analysis, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper, a survival model with long-term survivors and random effects, based on the
promotion time cure rate model formulation for models with a surviving fraction is …

Discrete and continuous bivariate lifetime models in presence of cure rate: a comparative study under Bayesian approach

RP de Oliveira, JA Achcar, D Peralta… - Journal of Applied …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
The modeling and analysis of lifetime data in which the main endpoints are the times when
an event of interest occurs is of great interest in medical studies. In these studies, it is …

Stochastic EM algorithm for generalized exponential cure rate model and an empirical study

K Davies, S Pal, JA Siddiqua - Journal of Applied Statistics, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, we consider two well-known parametric long-term survival models, namely, the
Bernoulli cure rate model and the promotion time (or Poisson) cure rate model. Assuming …

A Bayesian semiparametric survival model with longitudinal markers

S Zhang, P Müller, KA Do - Biometrics, 2010 - academic.oup.com
We consider inference for data from a clinical trial of treatments for metastatic prostate
cancer. Patients joined the trial with diverse prior treatment histories. The resulting …

Modeling censored lifetime data using a mixture of gammas baseline

TE Hanson - 2006 - projecteuclid.org
We propose a Bayesian semiparametric accelerated failure time (AFT) model in which the
baseline survival distribution is modeled as a Dirichlet process mixture of gamma densities …

Semiparametric efficient estimation for a class of generalized proportional odds cure models

M Mao, JL Wang - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
We present a mixture cure model with the survival time of the “uncured” group coming from a
class of linear transformation models, which is an extension of the proportional odds model …

The power series cure rate model: an application to a cutaneous melanoma data

VG Cancho, F Louzada, EM Ortega - Communications in Statistics …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis

competing causes of the event of interest is assumed to follow an exponential discrete …

Two-component mixture cure rate model with spline estimated nonparametric components

L Wang, P Du, H Liang - Biometrics, 2012 - academic.oup.com
