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.
