Title: A Unified Multivariate Survival Model in Presence of a Cure Fraction
Biography
Biography: Francisco Louzada
Abstract
In this talk I present a new lifetime model for multivariate survival data with a surviving fraction. The model is developed under the presence of m types of latent competing risks and proportion of survival individuals. Inference is based on maximum likelihood approach. A simulation study is performed in order to analyze the coverage probabilities of confidence intervals based on the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimates. The proposed modeling is illustrated through a real dataset on medical area.
