Abstract
In this paper, we mainly discuss the cure model with survival data. Different from the usual survival data with right-censoring, we incorporate the features of left-truncation and measurement error in covariates. Generally speaking, left-truncation causes a biased sample in survival analysis; measurement error in covariates may incur a tremendous bias if we do not deal with it properly. To deal with these challenges, we propose a flexible way to analyze left-truncated survival data and correct measurement error in covariates. The theoretical results are also established in this paper.
