The BLN model can be effectively used to analyze survival dataset in the presence of long-term survivors, especially when the dataset presents the underlying phenomenon of latent competing risks or when there is evidence that a bimodal hazard function is appropriated to described it, which are advantages over other cure rate models found in the literature. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimation for the model parameters considering interval-censored data through the differential evolution algorithm that is a nature-inspired computing metaheuristic used for global optimization of functions defined in multidimensional spaces. This approach is also used because the likelihood function of the model is multimodal and the direct application of gradient methods in this case is not ideal, since such methods are local search methods with a high chance of getting stuck at a local maximum when the starting point is chosen outside the basin of attraction of a global maximum. In addition, a simulation study was implemented to compare the performance of differential evolution algorithm with the performance of the Newton-Raphson algorithm in terms of bias, root mean square error, and the coverage probability of the asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters. Finally, an application of the BLN model to real data is presented to illustrate that it can provide a better fit than other mixture cure rate models.","PeriodicalId":291172,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Computational and Applied Mathematics","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116546783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we propose a new technique to verify if a graph corresponds to some edge pairing. For that, we propose the use of what we call parallel graph; a graph where each edge is divided into two oriented half-edges. This graph associates a word with a given pairing, so that operations on the words can be used to determine the equivalence between two pairings. The relationship between the word and the vertices of the pairing is determined by a proposed algorithm called vertex rain. Finally, we determine the relationship between the vertex length and the associated word.","PeriodicalId":291172,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Computational and Applied Mathematics","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122884079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
