Cure dependent censoring regression models for long-term survival multivariate data.
You can install the development version of CureDepCens from GitHub with:
install.packages("devtools")
::install_github("GabrielGrandemagne/CureDepCens") devtools
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
