plot.pCure

A collection of easy-to-use tools for regression analysis of survival data with a cure fraction proposed in Su et al. (2022) <doi:10.1177/09622802221108579>. The modeling framework is based on the Cox proportional hazards mixture cure model and the bounded cumulative hazard (promotion time cure) model. The pseudo-observations approach is utilized to assess covariate effects and embedded in the variable selection procedure.

plot.pCure function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>An object of class 'pCure', usually returned by the 'pCure()' function.</dd>
<dt>part</dt>
<dd>A character string specifies which component of the cure model to plot.
The default is "both", which plots both the incidence and latency components if a
mixture cure model was fitted,
or both the long- and short-term effects if a promotion time model was fitted.</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>A character string specifying the type of plot to generate.
Available options are "residuals," "cv," and "trace,"
which correspond to the pseudo-residual plot, cross-validation plot,
and trace plot for different values of the tuning parameter, respectively.</dd>
<dt>...</dt>
<dd>Other arguments for future extension.</dd></dl>
