The power prior has been widely used in many applications covering a large number of
disciplines. The power prior is intended to be an informative prior constructed from historical …

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 …

Several topics are addressed, including parametric models, semiparametric models based
on prior processes, proportional and non-proportional hazards models, frailty models, cure …

This volume examines modern techniques and research problems in the analysis of lifetime
data analysis. This area of statistics deals with time-to-event data which is complicated not …

When analyzing time-to-event data, it often happens that a certain fraction of the data
corresponds to subjects who will never experience the event of interest. These event times …

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 …

The cure fraction models are usually used to model lifetime time data with long-term
survivors. In the present article, we introduce a Bayesian analysis of the four-parameter …

Background: Breast cancer mortality (BCM) in the United States declined from 33.1 per 100
000 women in 1990 to 26.6 per 100 000 women in 2000, yielding a 19.6% relative decline in …

Several recent papers (eg,, Journal of the American Statistical Association 94, 909–919;,
Biometrics 57, 383–388) have described statistical methods for use with time-to-event data …

Cure models have been developed to analyze failure time data with a cured fraction. For
such data, standard survival models are usually not appropriate because they do not …
