Description: Provides estimation and simulation tools for particular
        cases of the power series cure rate model
        <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.639971>. For the distribution of the
        concurrent causes the alternative models are the Poisson,
        logarithmic, negative binomial and Bernoulli (which are
        includes in the original work), the polylogarithm model
        <doi:10.1080/00949655.2018.1451850> and the Flory-Schulz
        <doi:10.3390/math10244643>. The estimation procedure is based
        on the EM algorithm discussed in
        <doi:10.1080/03610918.2016.1202276>. For the distribution of
        the time-to-event the alternative models are slash half-normal,
        Weibull, gamma and Birnbaum-Saunders distributions.
