• Defective models for cure rate modeling 

      Rocha, Ricardo Ferreira da (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, Câmpus São Carlos, 01/04/2016)
      Modeling of a cure fraction, also known as long-term survivors, is a part of survival analysis. It studies cases where supposedly there are observations not susceptible to the event of interest. Such cases require special ...
    • Modelos de sobrevivência com fração de cura usando um termo de fragilidade e tempo de vida Weibull modificada generalizada 

      Calsavara, Vinicius Fernando (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, , 24/02/2011)
      In survival analysis, some studies are characterized by having a significant fraction of units that will never suffer the event of interest, even if accompanied by a long period of time. For the analysis of long-term data, ...
    • Modelo de mistura padrão com tempos de vida exponenciais ponderados 

      Gouveia, Bruno Pauka (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, , 05/03/2010)
      In this work, we brie_y introduce the concepts of long-term survival analysis. We dedicated ourselves exclusively to the standard mixture cure model from Boag (1949) and Berkson & Gage (1952), showing its deduction and ...
    • Modelos de sobrevivência na presença de eventos recorrentes e longa duração 

      Cobre, Juliana (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, , 05/03/2010)
      In this thesis it is proposed to analyze recurrent event data, recurrent event data with cure fraction and recurrent event data with censoring and competing causes. For the recurrent event data analysis it is proposed a ...
    • Novos modelos de sobrevivência com fração de cura baseados no processo da carcinogênese 

      Borges, Patrick (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, , 03/05/2012)
      In this dissertation we propose new models for survival with cure fraction to describe the biological mechanism of the event of interest (cancer) in studies of carcinogenesis in the presence of competing causes latent ...
    • Extensões dos modelos de sobrevivência referente a distribuição Weibull 

      Vigas, Valdemiro Piedade (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, , 07/03/2014)
      In this dissertation, two models of probability distributions for the lifetimes until the occurrence of the event produced by a specific cause for elements in a population are reviewed. The first revised model is called ...
    • Parametric and semi-parametric cure rate models with spatial frailties for interval-censored data 

      Bao, Yiqi (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PPGEs, Câmpus São Carlos, 31/05/2016)
      In this thesis, we extend some flexible cure rate models, such as the geometric, negative binomial and power series cure rate models, to allow for spatial correlations by including spatial frailties for the interval ...
