[Abstract] DNA methylation could provide a link between environmental, genetic factors and weight control and can modify gene expression pattern. This study aimed to identify genes, which are differentially expressed and ...

[Abstract] In studies involving nonparametric testing of the equality of two or more survival distributions, the survival curves can exhibit a wide variety of behaviors such as proportional hazards, early/late differences, ...

[Abstract] Traditional small-sized vineyards are especially sensitive to different impacts, including the arrival of new pests. The adults of the yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina), an invasive alien species present in ...

[Abstract] We introduce a nonparametric estimator of the conditional survival function in the mixture cure model for right-censored data when cure status is partially known. The estimator is developed for the setting of a ...

[Abstract] Nonparametric estimation methods for the cure rate and the distribution of the failure time of uncured subjects with covariates for censored survival data have attracted much attention in the last few years. To ...

[Abstract]: We thank all discussants for their insightful comments on our paper [López-Cheda, A., Peng, Y. & Jácome, M.A. Nonparametric estimation in mixture cure models with covariates. TEST 32, 467–495 (2023). ...

[Abstract]: A completely nonparametric method for the estimation of mixture cure models is proposed. A nonparametric estimator of the incidence is extensively studied and a nonparametric estimator of the latency is presented. ...

[Abstract]: In lifetime data, like cancer studies, there may be long term survivors, which lead to heavy censoring at the end of the follow-up period. Since a standard survival model is not appropriate to handle these data, ...

[Abstract]: A nonparametric latency estimator for mixture cure models is studied in this paper. An i.i.d. representation is obtained, the asymptotic mean squared error of the latency estimator is found, and its asymptotic ...

[Abstract] The invasive tumor front (the tumor–host interface) is vitally important in malignant cell progression and metastasis. Tumor cell interactions with resident and infiltrating host cells and with the surrounding ...
