The existence of immune or cured individuals in a population and whether there is sufficient followup in a sample of censored observations on their lifetimes to be confident of their presence are questions of major importance in medical survival analysis. So far only a few candidates have been put forward as possible test statistics for the existence of sufficient followup in a sample. Here we investigate one such statistic and give a detailed analysis, obtaining an exact finite sample as well…

Extremes of censored and uncensored lifetimes in survival data
We consider a random censoring model for survival analysis, allowing the possibility that only a proportion of individuals in the population are susceptible to death or failure, and the remainder are…

TLDR
A diagnostic test for sufficient follow-up in samples where there may or may not be immunes is developed and demonstrated and its properties are demonstrated.

Testing for sufficient follow-up in survival data
Survivorship analysis when cure is a possibility: a Monte Carlo study.
TLDR
The maximum likelihood estimation of pi and the power curves of the likelihood ratio test are discussed and Monte Carlo studies provide results for a variety of simulated trials.
