Abstract
All new Abstract. In this paper, we proposed a new cure rate model based on the Nielsen distribution. This model has a simple form for the probability generating function, it includes as a particular case the logarithmic distribution and it is a proposal recently discussed in greater detail in the literature, so its application within the context of cure models is very attractive. The model is parameterized directly in the cure rate, facilitating the comparison among other cure rate models in the literature also parameterized in this term. The estimation is approached based on a Bayesian paradigm. A real data set is considered to illustrate the performance of our proposal.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics aims to publish high quality research papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes.
More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered:
(i) Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or their computational aspects.
(ii) Original articles developing theoretical results.
(iii) Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems. For these papers the focus is in the importance and originality of the applied problem, as well as, applications of the best available methodologies to solve it.
(iv) Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and statistics. The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.
