The implementation of maximum likelihood estimation for the model parameters is discussed and, finally, the model is fitted to a real database (Melanoma data set), and comparisons are performed with alternatives to the new S-0(.).enCure rate survival modelHalf-normal distributionMaximum likelihoodPower distributionArticulohttps://doi.org/10.15672/hjms.201613820026
