A SAS macro for parametric and semiparametric mixture cure models
Cure models have been developed to analyze failure time data with a cured fraction. For such data, standard survival models are usually not appropriate because they do not account for the possibility of cure. Mixture cure models assume that the studied population is a mixture of susceptible individuals, who may experience the event of interest, and non-susceptible individuals that will never ex...
متن کامل%COVTEST: A SAS Macro for Hypothesis Testing in Linear Mixed Effects Models via Parametric Bootstrap
Inference of variance components in linear mixed effect models (LMEs) is not always straightforward. I introduce and describe a flexible SAS ® macro (%COVTEST) that uses the likelihood ratio test (LRT) to test covariance parameters in LMEs by means of the parametric bootstrap. Users must supply the null and alternative models (as macro strings), and a data set name. The macro calculates the obs...
متن کاملA Class of Semiparametric Mixture Cure Survival Models with Dependent Censoring.
Modern cancer treatments have substantially improved cure rates and have generated a great interest in and need for proper statistical tools to analyze survival data with non-negligible cure fractions. Data with cure fractions are often complicated by dependent censoring, and the analysis of this type of data typically involves untestable parametric assumptions on the dependence of the censorin...
متن کاملSemiparametric Transformation Models for Survival Data with a Cure Fraction
We propose a class of transformation models for survival data with a cure fraction. The class of transformation models is motivated by biological considerations, and it includes both the proportional hazards and the proportional odds cure models as two special cases. An efficient recursive algorithm is proposed to calculate the maximum likelihood estimators. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood ...
متن کاملCure Fraction Models Using Mixture and Non-mixture Models
We introduce the Weibull distributions in presence of cure fraction, censored data and covariates. Twomodels are explored in this paper: mixture and non-mixture models. Inferences for the proposed models are obtained under the Bayesian approach, using standard MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) methods. An illustration of the proposed methodology is given considering a lifetime data set.
