Abstract
- A new report from the University of Texas Arlington presents fresh data on infectious diseases and conditions. The research focuses on cure rate models, which are commonly used in cancer clinical trials but have not been explored extensively in the context of infectious diseases. The study proposes a new cure rate model that captures both over-dispersion and under-dispersion of pathogens at each time of exposure. The researchers also developed a new estimation method and conducted a simulation study to demonstrate the model's performance. The study concludes by illustrating the proposed model using recently collected data on COVID-19. [Extracted from the article]
