  <dc:title>Assessing Cure Model Appropriateness for Survival Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package cureAssess version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Assesses whether cure models are appropriate for right-censored
    survival data, where a fraction of subjects may never experience the event
    of interest. Implements a two-stage workflow combining Kaplan-Meier
    visualization and comparison of parametric cure and non-cure models by the
    Akaike information criterion with formal diagnostics for sufficient
    follow-up and for the presence of a cured fraction. The diagnostics
    include the statistics of Maller and Zhou (1992)
    &lt;doi:10.1093/biomet/79.4.731&gt; and Maller and Zhou (1994)
    &lt;doi:10.1080/01621459.1994.10476889&gt;, the test of Shen (2000)
    &lt;doi:10.1016/S0167-7152(00)00063-8&gt;, and the ratio estimation of censored
    uncured subjects ('RECeUS') method of Selukar and Othus (2023)
