This paper considers semiparametric estimation of the Cox proportional hazards model for right-censored and length-biased data arising from prevalent sampling. To exploit the special structure of length-biased sampling, we propose a maximum pseudo-profile likelihood estimator, which can handle...

Survival data from prevalent cases collected under a cross-sectional sampling scheme are subject to left-truncation. When fitting an additive hazards model to left-truncated data, the conditional estimating equation method (Lin & Ying, 1994), obtained by modifying the risk sets to account for...

This paper considers survival data arising from length-biased sampling, where the survival times are left truncated by uniformly distributed random truncation times. We propose a nonparametric estimator that incorporates the information about the length-biased sampling scheme. The new estimator...
