Destructive negative binomial cure rate model and EM-based likelihood inference under Weibull lifetime
Abstract
In this paper, we develop likelihood inference based on EM algorithm for the destructive negative binomial cure rate model. A simulation study is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm and a cancer melanoma data is then analyzed.
