In this paper we deal with a Bayesian analysis for right-censored survival data suitable for populations with a cure rate. We consider a cure rate model based on the negative binomial distribution, encompassing as a special case the promotion time cure model. Bayesian analysis is based on Markov...

This study involved conducting a survival analysis by fitting a Cox proportional hazards model to Korea Labor Panel data to analyze the impact of parental job loss on children's delayed admission to colleges and universities in South Korea, using 376 subjects whose parental education levels were...

Customer relationship management and marketing analytics have become critical for nonlife insurers operating in highly competitive markets. As it is easier to develop an existing customer than to acquire a new one, cross-selling and retention are key activities. In this research, we focus on...

We examine a new general class of hazard rate models for survival data, containing a parametric and a nonparametric component. Both can be a mix of a time effect and (possibly time-dependent) marker or covariate effects. A number of well-known models are special cases. In a counting process...
