A new cure rate model with flexible competing causes with applications to melanoma and transplantation data

In this article, we introduce a long‐term survival model in which the number of competing causes of the event of interest follows the zero‐modified geometric (ZMG) distribution. Such distribution accommodates equidispersion, underdispersion, and overdispersion and captures deflation or inflation of...
