Popis: The specific nature of credit loan data requires the use of mixture cure models within the class of survival analysis tools. The constructed models allow for com-peting risks such as early repayment and default, and for incorporating maturity, expressed as an unsusceptible part of the population. A novel further extension of such models incorporates unobserved heterogeneity within the risk groups. A hierar-chical expectation-maximization algorithm is derived to fit the models and standard errors are obtained. Simulations and a data analysis illustrate the applicability and benefits of these models, and in particular an improved event time estimation. ispartof: Econometrics and Statistics vol:22 pages:39-55 status: published
