摘要
We analyze left-truncated and right-censored data using Cox proportional hazard models with long-term survivors. The estimators of covariate coefficients and the long-term survivor proportion are obtained by the partial likelihood method, and their asymptotic properties are also established. Simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimators, and an application to a real dataset is provided.
