Kaplan–Meier Estimator under Association
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1998 This work studies the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the estimation of the hazard function in a model with censored failure times. The true survival times \(T_1,\dots T_n\), with common marginal \(F\), are not assumed mutually independent. They satisfy two different notions of weak dependence: a) They are positively associated, i.e.

A Generalized Kaplan-Meier Estimator
The Annals of Statistics, 1984 A class of nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators of the survival function based on incomplete or right-censored data is derived in the general situation that the time to death and the time to loss (censoring) are not necessarily independent. This is the competing risks problem with two causes of failure.
