The destructive negative binomial cure rate model with a latent activation scheme

VG Cancho, D Bandyopadhyay, F Louzada… - Statistical methodology, 2013 - Elsevier
A new flexible cure rate survival model is developed where the initial number of competing
causes of the event of interest (say lesions or altered cells) follows a compound negative …

The negative binomial beta prime regression model with cure rate: application with a melanoma dataset

J Leão, M Bourguignon, H Saulo… - Journal of Statistical …, 2021 - Springer
This paper introduces a cure rate survival model by assuming that the time to the event of
interest follows a beta prime (BP) distribution and that the number of competing causes of …

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 …

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 …

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
In this article we propose a new cure rate survival model. In our approach the number of
competing causes of the event of interest is assumed to follow an exponential discrete …

[HTML][HTML] An alternative promotion time cure model with overdispersed number of competing causes: An application to melanoma data

DI Gallardo, M de Castro, HW Gómez - Mathematics, 2021 - mdpi.com
A cure rate model under the competing risks setup is proposed. For the number of
competing causes related to the occurrence of the event of interest, we posit the one …

On a new piecewise regression model with cure rate: diagnostics and application to medical data

YM Gómez, DI Gallardo, J Leão… - Statistics in …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
In this article, we discuss an extension of the classical negative binomial cure rate model
with piecewise exponential distribution of the time to event for concurrent causes, which …

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 …

A flexible family of transformation cure rate models

MV Koutras, FS Milienos - Statistics in medicine, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we introduce a flexible family of cure rate models, mainly motivated by the
biological derivation of the classical promotion time cure rate model and assuming that a …

Flexible cure rate modeling under latent activation schemes

F Cooner, S Banerjee, BP Carlin… - Journal of the American …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
With rapid improvements in medical treatment and health care, many datasets dealing with
time to relapse or death now reveal a substantial portion of patients who are cured (ie, who …
