Semiparametric Cure Model Object

semicure.object

Description

Class of objects returned by fitting semiparametric cure models.

Generation

This class of objects is returned by the semicure function to represent a fitted semiparametric cure model.

Methods

Objects of this class have methods for the functions print, coef, summary and predict.

Structure

The following components must be included in a legitimate semicure object.

call: a formula expression of the call of the semicure function, with arguments named.

coxfit: the fit of the Cox model to the failure time of uncured patients.

logisfit: the fit of the logistic model to cure rates (or other models for cure rates).

tail: the method used to complete the tail of the baseline distribution of uncured patients. It is the same value as the argument named tail in semicure.

data: the original data set combined with the estimated cure rates for all patients. If savedata = F when using semicure, data is NULL.
