Abstract
In this paper, we develop a flexible cure rate survival model by assuming the number of competing causes of the event of interest to follow the Conway–Maxwell Poisson distribution. This model includes as special cases some of the well-known cure rate models discussed in the literature. Next, we discuss the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of this cure rate survival model. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of this model by applying it to a real cutaneous melanoma data.
