pseudoCure: Analysis of survival data with cure fraction and variable selection: A pseudo-observations approach

The pseudoCure package implements a pseudo-observation approach for survival data with a cure fraction. The modeling framework is based on the Cox proportional hazards mixture cure model and the bounded cumulative hazard model.
