Cure rate models: a unified approach

G Yin, JG Ibrahim - Canadian Journal of Statistics, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The authors propose a novel class of cure rate models for right‐censored failure time data.
The class is formulated through a transformation on the unknown population survival …

Estimating cure rates from survival data: an alternative to two-component mixture models

AD Tsodikov, JG Ibrahim… - Journal of the American …, 2003 - Taylor & Francis
This article considers the utility of the bounded cumulative hazard model in cure rate
estimation, which is an appealing alternative to the widely used two-component mixture …

A flexible model for survival data with a cure rate: a Bayesian approach

VG Cancho, J Rodrigues… - Journal of Applied Statistics, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we deal with a Bayesian analysis for right-censored survival data suitable for
populations with a cure rate. We consider a cure rate model based on the negative binomial …

A Bayesian long‐term survival model parametrized in the cured fraction

M Castro, VG Cancho… - … Journal: Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The main goal of this paper is to investigate a cure rate model that comprehends some well‐
known proposals found in the literature. In our work the number of competing causes of the …

A new joint model for longitudinal and survival data with a cure fraction

MH Chen, JG Ibrahim, D Sinha - Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2004 - Elsevier
We develop a new joint cure rate model for longitudinal and survival data. The model allows
for multiple longitudinal markers as well as a cure structure for the survival component …

Incorporation of frailties into a cure rate regression model and its diagnostics and application to melanoma data

J Leão, V Leiva, H Saulo, V Tomazella - Statistics in medicine, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Cure rate models have been widely studied to analyze time‐to‐event data with a cured
fraction of patients. Our proposal consists of incorporating frailty into a cure rate model, as an …

Accelerated hazards mixture cure model

J Zhang, Y Peng - Lifetime data analysis, 2009 - Springer
We propose a new cure model for survival data with a surviving or cure fraction. The new
model is a mixture cure model where the covariate effects on the proportion of cure and the …

A new Bayesian model for survival data with a surviving fraction

MH Chen, JG Ibrahim, D Sinha - Journal of the American Statistical …, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
We consider Bayesian methods for right-censored survival data for populations with a
surviving (cure) fraction. We propose a model that is quite different from the standard mixture …

Bayesian dynamic models for survival data with a cure fraction

S Kim, MH Chen, DK Dey, D Gamerman - Lifetime Data Analysis, 2007 - Springer
In this paper, we propose a new class of semi-parametric cure rate models. Specifically, we
construct dynamic models for piecewise hazard functions over a finite partition of the time …

EM algorithm-based likelihood estimation for some cure rate models

N Balakrishnan, S Pal - Journal of Statistical Theory and Practice, 2012 - Springer
In the recent work of Rodrigues et al.(2009), a flexible cure rate survival model was
developed by assuming the number of competing causes of the event of interest to follow the …
