We propose a new class of survival models for time-to-event data with a cure fraction. This new model is an extension of the promotion time cure rate model. Furthermore, we extend the model to the regression model to ...

The present study aimed to assess the influence of curing distance on the loss of irradiance and power density of four curing light devices. The behavior in terms of power density of four different dental curing devices ...

Steam curing of concrete is widely used in the concrete industry nowadays. Under steam curing, the concrete is subjected to high temperatures for a short period of time. Compressive and tensile strength are accelerated, ...

Steam curing is a process used to accelerate cement hydration reactions with the purpose of enhancing the mechanical strength of concrete at early ages, since hydration reactions are temperature dependent. To evaluate the ...

In this article, for the first time, we propose the negative binomial-beta Weibull (BW) regression model for studying the recurrence of prostate cancer and to predict the cure fraction for patients with clinically localized ...

Diagnostic methods have been an important tool in regression analysis to detect anomalies, such as departures from error assumptions and the presence of outliers and influential observations with the fitted models. Assuming ...
