Goodness-of-fit tests for the cure rate in a mixture cure model
混合治愈模型中治愈率的拟合优度检验
We consider models for time-to-event data that allow that an event, e.g., a relapse of a disease, never occurs for a certain percentage |$p$| of the population, called the cure rate. We suppose that these data are subject to random right censoring and we model the data using a mixture cure model, in which the survival function of the uncured subjects is left unspecified. The aim is to test whether the cure rate |$p$|, as a function of the covariates, satisfies a certain…
