3.3.3 Partial likelihood functions

In order to consider the event and dependent censoring simultaneously, we introduce
copula-based indicator functions
Di fa fa and Ei fa fa, which can take any value be-
tween 0 and 1; while traditional indicators can only take two values, either 0 or 1.
For a subject with dependent censoring, we assume that its contribution to the likeli-
hood function is decreasing gradually at each observed event time point, represented
by
Pi (i) and Di fa fa. Intuitively, this subject is going to fail gradually rather than
immediately, as the traditional survival analysis assumes.

We define an extended Cox partial likelihood function for an event as follows:
