split-population model (cure model)

[Shige Song <sgsong@ucla.edu>]

Dear All,

Has anyone implemented S/R code for what economists called
"split-population model" and what biostatisticians called "cure model"?
Here are some references:

        Wiley series in probability and statistics, John Wiley,
        Chichester.

        using 'split population' survival time models",
        Journal of Econometrics 40: 141-159.
