#' \item{X}{The matrix of covariates in the incidence part (including
#'  an intercept). As the model includes an intercept, the first column
#'  corresponds to a column of ones.}
#' \item{Z}{The matrix of covariates in the latency part.}
#' \item{latenthat}{The vector of estimated latent variables. This includes
#' the vector of B-spline coefficients, the regression coefficients
#' of the incidence part and latency part respectively.}
#' \item{thetahat}{The vector of estimated B-spline coefficients.}
#' \item{betahat}{The vector of estimated coefficients in the incidence part.}
#' \item{gammahat}{The vector of estimated coefficents in the latency part.}
#' \item{vhat}{The (approximate) posterior maximum for the penalty parameter
#' (in log scale).}
#' \item{tu}{The largest observed follow-up time.}
#' \item{ftime}{The vector of observed survival times.}
#' \item{penorder}{The chosen penalty order for P-splines.}
#' \item{K}{The number of B-spline coefficients.}
#' \item{p}{The number of regression in the incidence part (including
#' intercept).}
#' \item{q}{The number of regression coefficients in the latency part.}
#' \item{xmean}{The mean covariate vector for the incidence part.}
#' \item{px}{The logistic link function}
#' \item{cumult}{A function required to compute the estimated baseline
#' survival}
#' \item{CI90}{The (approximate) 90% credible intervals for the regression
#' coefficients in the incidence and latency part.}
#' \item{CI95}{The (approximate) 95% credible intervals for the regression
#' coefficients in the incidence and latency part.}
#' \item{CIcure90}{The (approximate) 90% credible interval for the
#' cure rate (at the mean covariate profile).}
#' \item{CIcure95}{The (approximate) 95% credible interval for the
#' cure rate (at the mean covariate profile).}
#' \item{CIincid90}{The (approximate) 90% credible interval for the
#' incidence rate (at the mean covariate profile).}
#' \item{CIincid95}{The (approximate) 95% credible interval for the
#' incidence rate (at the mean covariate profile).}
