Nonparametric methods have attracted less attention than their parametric counterparts for
cure rate analysis. In this paper, we study a general nonparametric mixture model. The …

We propose a nonparametric method to assess the effects of one or more covariates on the
cure rate for survival data with a cure fraction. The method extends the existing work on …

Cure rate estimation is an important issue in clinical trials for diseases such as lymphoma
and breast cancer and mixture models are the main statistical methods. In the last decade, …

The Ontario Cancer Registry (OCR) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)
databases were used to describe temporal trends in the incidence and survival of …

The mixture cure model is a special type of survival models and it assumes that the studied
population is a mixture of susceptible individuals who may experience the event of interest, …

The proportional hazard (PH) mixture cure model and the accelerated failure time (AFT)
mixture cure model are usually used in analysing failure time data with long‐term survivors. …

In this article, we present a frailty model using the generalized gamma distribution as the
frailty distribution. It is a power generalization of the popular gamma frailty model. It also …

BACKGROUND Practice guidelines recommend neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for
bladder cancer. However, the evidence in support of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is less …

Survival data with a sizable cure fraction are commonly encountered in some cancer clinical
researches and the semiparametric proportional hazards cure model has been recently …
