On the Bartlett Adjustment for the Partial Likelihood Ratio Test in the Cox Regression Model
The Bartlett adjustment for the partial likelihood ratio test in Cox regression model is established under one-dimensional parameter. If the baseline hazard is unspecified, the adjustment factor can be estimated from the data.

Population size estimation based on estimating functions for closed capture-recapture models
[[abstract]]This paper explores a unified approach to inference on the size of a closed population using capture-recapture data where time, behavior or heterogeneity may affect the capture probabilities. The unifying idea is that of an optimal estimating
