This paper provides an overview of two semiparametric estimation methods recently proposed in the literature for the accelerated failure time mixture cure model. We prove that the two estimation methods are asymptotically equivalent. A simulation is conducted to investigate the rate of convergence of the two methods. We apply these methods to fit the accelerated failure time mixture cure model to the survival times of leukemia patients receiving bone marrow transplantation.

加速失效时间混合固化模型的半参数估计方法。

本文概述了文献中最近为加速失效时间混合固化模型提出的两种半参数估计方法。我们证明这两种估计方法是渐近等价的。进行模拟以研究两种方法的收敛速度。我们应用这些方法将加速失败时间混合治愈模型拟合到接受骨髓移植的白血病患者的存活时间。
