This folder conatins examples based on a single simulated data set.

The files are

streg_example                  -   standard parametric models using Stata's streg command
stpm2_example                  -   flexible parametric survival models using stpm2 command
stpm2_example_background       -   flexible parametric excess mortality models using stpm2 command
                                   (incorporates background mortality).
stpm2_cure                     -   flexible parametric cure models using stpm2 command
                                   (incorporates background mortality).
