The semiparametric accelerated hazards mixture cure model provides a useful alternative to analyze survival data with a cure fraction if covariates of interest have a gradual effect on the hazard of uncured patients. However, the application of the model may be hindered by the computational...

We consider a marginal mixture cure model for clustered survival data in which there may be a cure fraction and the survival times may be correlated. We propose a generalized estimating equation approach by incorporating working correlation matrices into an EM algorithm to estimate the...
