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 …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of aging on the percentage of outwardly healthy couples
who are sterile (completely unable to conceive without assisted reproduction) or infertile …

Cure Models: Methods, Applications and Implementation is the first book in the last 25 years
that provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the basics of modern cure …

We propose a class of transformation models for survival data with a cure fraction. The class
of transformation models is motivated by biological considerations and includes both the …

We illustrate how power prior distributions can be used to incorporate historical data into a
Bayesian analysis when there is uncertainty about the similarity between the current and …

Populations of free-ranging dogs are still a matter of concern in developing countries. The
presence of stray dogs is associated with environmental and public health consequences …

Background A new class of immuno-oncology agents has recently been shown to induce
long-term survival in a proportion of treated patients. This phenomenon poses unique …

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 …
