From: Flexible modelling of survival curves for censored data
In panel (a), the EBMT Kaplan Meier survival curve is modelled by maximising the censored log likelihood directly using RS or FMKL GLD. In panel (b), the EBMT Kaplan Meier survival curve is modelled by mixtures of GLDs using maximum likelihood estimation (Su 2007a) under SR scheme. Panel (c) shows the estimated EBMT probability density function of mixture of RS GLDs from Panel (b) and only the observed part of the survival curve is displayed in Panel (b). Panel (d) shows the AIDS infection cumulative incidence function (CIF) (Amsterdam Cohort Study) modelled by mixture of RS GLDs (Su 2007a) using the SR method
