Title: Bayesian Cure Rate Models and Model Selection
Author(s): Sanjib Basu*+
Companies: Northern Illinois University
Keywords: Competing risks ; Cross validation ; marginal likelihood
Abstract:

Bayesian model selection methods include criteria based on cross-validation, criteria based on model fit such as marginal likelihood, and penalized criteria. In this talk, we compare the performance of various model selection criteria. We consider flexible models for competing risks and cure rate and consider Bayesian model selection in these models.
