In this paper, we proposed a new three-parameter long-term lifetime distribution induced by a latent complementary risk framework with decreasing, increasing and unimodal hazard function, the long-term complementary exponential geometric distribution. The new distribution arises from latent...

In this paper, we extend the promotion cure rate model studied in Yakovlev and Tsodikov (1996) and Chen et al. (1999) by incorporating an excess of zeros in the modeling. Despite relating covariates to the cure fraction, the current approach does not enable us to relate covariates to the...

In survival analysis, the presence of elements not susceptible to the event of interest is very common. These elements lead to what is called a fraction cure, cure rate, or even long-term survivors. In this paper, we propose a unified approach using the negative binomial distribution for...

In this study, we propose to apply the transmuted log-logistic (TLL) model which is a generalization of log-logistic model, in a Bayesian context. The log-logistic model has been used it is simple and has a unimodal hazard rate, important characteristic in survival analysis. Also, the TLL model...

In this paper we extend the promotion cure rate model proposed by Chen et al. (1999), by incorporating excess of zeros in the modelling. Despite allowing to relate the covariates to the fraction of cure, the current approach, which is based on a biological interpretation of the causes that...

In this paper, we introduce a methodology based on zero-inflated long-term survival data in order to deal with fraud rate estimation in bank loan portfolios. Our approach enables us to accommodate three different types of loan borrowers, i.e., fraudsters, those who are susceptible to default...

This article proposes a method for measuring the latent risks involved in the recovery process of non-performing loans in financial institutions and/or business firms that deal with collection and recovery processes. To that end, we apply the competing risks model referred to in the literature...

In this paper we consider a parametric Weibull mixture cure model for modeling time to default on a personal loan portfolio in presence of disproportionate hazard rate. The main contribution of this paper is to evidence that mixture cure models are appropriate for non proportional sceneries,...

In this paper we propose a method that provides a useful technique to compare relationship between risk involved that takes customer becomes defaulter and debt collection process that might make this defaulter recovered. Through estimation of competitive risks that lead to realization of the...
