Abstract: The time-dependent logistic TDL model was introduced by MacKen- zie (1996) as an alternative to the Cox proportional-hazards model. Our proposal, the extended time-dependent logistic (eTDL) model, is a more flexible model that allows for survival data with long-term survivors and contains the TDL model as a particular case. Inferential methods and a simulation study are developed.
