Description
Cure Models: Methods, Applications and Implementation provides a comprehensive introduction to modern cure models, including estimation, inference, and software. This book is suitable for statistical researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in other disciplines seeking a thorough review of modern cure model methodology.
Real-world examples from clinical trials and population-based studies are featured, along with a detailed introduction to R packages, SAS macros, and WinBUGS programs to fit some cure models. The book covers topics such as statistical estimation and inference for independent and right-censored survival data, cure modeling for multivariate, recurrent-event, and competing-risks survival data.
It also explores joint modeling with longitudinal data, statistical testing for the existence and difference of cure rates, and new developments in Bayesian cure models. Applications of cure models are discussed in public health research and clinical trials.
