We develop Bayesian methods for right censored multivariate failure time data for populations with a cure fraction. We propose a new model, called the multivariate cure rate model, and provide a natural motivation and interpretation of it. To create the correlation structure between the failure time

## Abstract As the treatments of cancer progress, a certain number of cancers are curable if diagnosed early. In populationβbased cancer survival studies, cure is said to occur when mortality rate of the cancer patients returns to the same level as that expected for the general cancerβfree populati
## Abstract This paper develops semiparametric Bayesian methods for inference of dynamic Tobit panel data models. Our approach requires that the conditional mean dependence of the unobserved heterogeneity on the initial conditions and the strictly exogenous variables be specified. Important quantit
