Defective models for cure rate modeling
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-04-01)
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 na presença de eventos recorrentes e longa duração
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2010-03-05)
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
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2012-05-03)
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 ...
Parametric and semi-parametric cure rate models with spatial frailties for interval-censored data
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-05-31)
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 ...
