semicure.object Semiparametric cure model object
DESCRIPTION
Class of objects returned by fitting semiparametric cure models.

 
GENERATION
This class of objects is returned by the semicure function to represent a fitted semiparametric cure model.

 
METHODS
Objects of this class have methods for the functions print, coef, summary and predict.

 
STRUCTURE
The following components must be included in a legitimate semicure object.
call:
a formula expression of the call of the semicure function, with arguments named.
coxfit:
the fit of the Cox model to the failure time of uncured patients.
logisfit:
the fit of the logistic model to cure rates (or other models for cure rates).
tail:
the method used to complete the tail of the baseline distribution of uncured patients. It is the same value as the argument named tail in semicure.
data:
the original data set combined with the estimated cure rates for all patients. If savedata = F when using semicure, data is NULL.
