Fig. 3. Boxplots of cure proportion estimates obtained from the original FPCM (original), the KM method (KM) and the model of the correctly identified cure point (true).

a Finite cure point scenarios with cure proportion = 0.2. The true cure point model (true) was an FPCM with the last knot positioned at 18 months. b Asymptotic cure point scenarios. WNCM was the true cure point model (true).
