Assessing cure status prediction from survival data using receiver operating characteristic curves
利用 ROC 曲线评估生存数据中的治愈状态预测
Summary Survival analysis relies on the hypothesis that, if the follow-up is long enough, the event of interest will eventually be observed for all observations. This assumption, however, is often not realistic. The survival data then contain a cure fraction. A common approach to modelling and analysing this type of data consists in using cure models. Two types of information can therefore be obtained: the survival at a given time and the cure status, both possibly modelled…
