In curesurv: Mixture and Non Mixture Parametric Cure Models to Estimate Cure Indicators

#' @title Mixture and Non Mixture Parametric Cure Models to Estimate Cure Indicators
#'
#' @description Fits cure models in net survival setting. It can be a mixture
#' cure model with the survival of the uncured following a Weibull or an
#' exponentiated Weibull. The package also implements non-mixture cure models
#' such as the time-to-null excess hazard model proposed by Boussari et al (2021).
#' If the modelling assumption of the comparability between expected hazard in
#' the cohort under study and that related to the general population doesn't hold,
#' an extra effect (due to life tables mismatch) can be estimated for these two
#' classes of cure models. The overall survival setting can also be considered in this package.
