Gompertz Cure Rate Survival Models with Stan and brms.

December 6, 2024

Presented at ACoP 2024. A Gompertz distribution is implemented in Stan and brms to enable cure rate survival modeling. The Gompertz brms family can be used to model exposure-response data in a Bayesian framework where a proportion of the population never experiences the event of interest.
