An exact corrected log-likelihood function for Cox's proportional hazards model under measurement error and some extensions [PDF]
This paper studies Cox`s proportional hazards model under covariate measurement error. Nakamura`s (1990) methodology of corrected log-likelihood will be applied to the so called Breslow likelihood, which is, in the absence of measurement error ...

An approach to trial design and analysis in the era of non-proportional hazards of the treatment effect [PDF]
Background: Most randomized controlled trials with a time-to-event outcome are designed and analysed under the proportional hazards assumption, with a target hazard ratio for the treatment effect in mind. However, the hazards may be non-proportional.
