Generalized copula-graphic estimator
Uña-Álvarez, Jacobo; Veraverbeke, Noël - In: TEST: An Official Journal of the Spanish Society of … 22 (2013) 2, pp. 343-360
In this paper, a copula-graphic estimator is proposed for censored survival data. It is assumed that there is some dependent censoring acting on the variable of interest that may come from an existing competing risk. Furthermore, the full process is independently censored by some administrative...

Semiparametric likelihood estimation in survival models with informative censoring
Lu, Zudi; Zhang, Wenyang - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 106 (2012) C, pp. 187-211
Semiparametric proportional hazard regression models are the cornerstone in modern survival analysis. Most estimation methodologies developed in the literature, such as the famous partial likelihood based estimation, are built on the ground that the censoring is noninformative. However, in many...

On generalized maximum likelihood estimation in the proportional hazards model with partially informative censoring
Zhang, Haimeng; Rao, M. Bhaskara - In: Metrika 59 (2004) 2, pp. 125-136
The generalized maximum likelihood estimator (GMLE) is derived and some of its variants are compared with the partial Abdushukurov-Cheng-Lin (PACL) and Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimators under the proportional hazards model with partially informative censoring. A comparison of small sample properties...
