Fit parametric models for time-to-event data that show an initial 'incubation period', i.e., a variable delay phase where the hazard is zero. The delayed Weibull distribution serves as foundational data model. The specific method of 'MPSE' (maximum product of spacings estimation) is used for parameter estimation. Bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters and significance tests in a two group setting are provided.
