title: 'incubate: Parametric Time-to-Event Analysis with Variable Incubation Phases'
version: 1.4.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.incubate
abstract: Fit parametric models for time-to-event data that show an initial 'incubation
  period', i.e. a variable delay phase where no events occur. The delayed Weibull
  distribution serves as the foundational data model. For parameter estimation, different
  flavours of maximum likelihood estimation ('MLE') and the method of maximum product
  of spacings estimation ('MPSE') are implemented. Bootstrap confidence intervals
  for parameters and significance tests in a two group setting are provided.
