A new approach for Bayesian joint modeling of longitudinal and cure-survival outcomes using the defective Gompertz distribution

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In recent medical studies, the combination of longitudinal measurements with time-to-event data has increased the demand for more sophisticated models without unbiased estimates. Joint models for longitudinal and survival data have been developed to address …

Regression modeling for cure factors on uterine cancer data using the reparametrized defective generalized Gompertz distribution

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Recent advances in medical research have improved survival outcomes for patients with life-threatening diseases. As a result, the existence of long-term survivors from these illnesses is becoming common. However, conventional models in survival analysis assume …
