Cure - rate estimation under Case - 1 interval censoring Running title : Cure - rate under interval censoring
We consider nonparametric estimation of cure-rate based on mixture model under Case-1 interval censoring. We show that the nonparametric maximum-likelihood estimator (NPMLE) of cure-rate is non-unique as well as inconsistent , and propose two estimators based on the NPMLE of the distribution function under this censoring model. We present a cross-validation method for choosing a 'cut-off' point...
متن کاملTesticular cancer: maintaining the high cure rate.
The management of germ cell tumors has advanced dramatically, with cure rates approaching 90% to 95%. Treatment of stage I/A seminomas generally includes orchiectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy. Treatment of stage I/A nonseminomatous germ cell tumors involves orchiectomy followed by retroperitoneal lymph node dissection or active surveillance. One of the major advances has been the introduction o...
متن کاملDestructive weighted Poisson cure rate models.
In this paper, we develop a flexible cure rate survival model by assuming the number of competing causes of the event of interest to follow a compound weighted Poisson distribution. This model is more flexible in terms of dispersion than the promotion time cure model. Moreover, it gives an interesting and realistic interpretation of the biological mechanism of the occurrence of event of interes...
متن کاملCure rate models: a unified approach
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 function. It includes the mixture cure model and the promotion time cure model as two special cases. The authors propose a general form of the covariate structure which automatically satisfies an inherent parameter constr...
