 Grouped proportional-hazards model

When event times are observed only in intervals and the covariate vector is constant within an interval, a proportional hazards model gives $p_{ij}=1-\exp [-\Delta H_{0j}\exp ({\beta }^T{z}_i)]$. Thus the interval event probability has a complementary log-log link, with ${\alpha }_j=\log \Delta H_{0j}$ an interval-specific intercept. The person-period Bernoulli likelihood models several events in one interval directly, without inventing their order. It needs appropriate independent censoring assumptions and a consistent account of interval entry and observation.
