Cure Fraction Models Using Mixture and Non-mixture Models
We introduce the Weibull distributions in presence of cure fraction, censored data and covariates. Twomodels are explored in this paper: mixture and non-mixture models. Inferences for the proposed models are obtained under the Bayesian approach, using standard MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) methods. An illustration of the proposed methodology is given considering a lifetime data set.
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
متن کاملA SAS macro for parametric and semiparametric mixture cure models
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 account for the possibility of cure. Mixture cure models assume that the studied population is a mixture of susceptible individuals, who may experience the event of interest, and non-susceptible individuals that will never ex...
متن کاملMixture models
where K is the (fixed) number of mixture component, π is a vector of mixing weights, and p(x|k) are the densities for each component. We consider some examples below. 2 Gaussian mixture models Consider the dataset of height and weight in Figure 1. It is clear that there are two subpopulations in this data set, and in this case they are easy to interpret: one represents males and the other femal...
متن کاملMixture Models
Consider the task of summarizing the data in Figure 1. A common technique for performing this task is to use a statistical model known as a mixture model. Relative to many other models for estimating densities, mixture models have a number of advantages. First, mixture models can summarize data that contain multiple modes. In this sense, they are more powerful than distributions from the expone...
