PScr: Estimation for the Power Series Cure Rate Model
Provides estimation and simulation tools for particular cases
of the power series cure rate model
<doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.639971>. For the distribution of the concurrent causes the
alternative models are the Poisson, logarithmic, negative binomial and Bernoulli (which
are includes in the original work), the polylogarithm model
<doi:10.1080/00949655.2018.1451850> and the Flory-Schulz <doi:10.3390/math10244643>.
The estimation procedure is based on the EM algorithm discussed in
<doi:10.1080/03610918.2016.1202276>.
For the distribution of the time-to-event the alternative models are slash half-normal,
Weibull, gamma and Birnbaum-Saunders distributions.
