In general, growth models are adjusted under the assumptions that the error terms are homoscedastic and normally distributed. However, these assumptions are often not verified in practice. In this work we propose four growth models (Morgan-Mercer-Flodin, von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, and Richards)...

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian partition modeling for lifetime data in the presence of a cure fraction by considering a local structure generated by a tessellation which depends on covariates. In this modeling we include information of nominal qualitative variables with more than two...

In this paper, we proposed a new three-parameter long-term lifetime distribution induced by a latent complementary risk framework with decreasing, increasing and unimodal hazard function, the long-term complementary exponential geometric distribution. The new distribution arises from latent...
