The Slash Half-Normal Distribution Applied to a Cure Rate Model with Application to Bone Marrow Transplantation

The Slash Half-Normal Distribution Applied to a Cure Rate Model with Application to Bone Marrow Transplantation

This paper proposes, for the first time, the use of an asymmetric positive and heavy-tailed distribution in a cure rate model context. In particular, it introduces a cure-rate survival model by assuming that the time-to-event of interest follows a slash half-normal distribution and that the number o...
