Title: Flexible Cure Rate Models and Associated Inference
Author(s): Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan*
Companies: McMaster University
Keywords: cure rate models ; melanoma data ; semi-parametric inference ; parametric inference
Abstract:

In this talk, I will introduce a few flexible families of cure rate models and discuss some parametric as well as semi-parametric inference for such models.  I will present some simulation results to demonstrate the performance of the proposed models and inferential methods.  Finally, I will illustrate with some melanoma data from the literature.


Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
