Description: Tools to fit Mixture Cure Rate models via the
        Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, allowing for flexible
        link functions in the cure component and various survival
        distributions in the latency part. The package supports
        user-specified link functions, includes methods for parameter
        estimation and model diagnostics, and provides residual
        analysis tailored for cure models. The classical theory methods
        used are described in Berkson, J. and Gage, R. P. (1952)
