Let $Y(t)$ be the at-risk process and $N(t)$ the counting process for observed events. Over a short interval, the multiplicative-intensity model giveswhere $h$ is the hazard function and $H$ the cumulative hazard function. Solving this relation for the infinitesimal hazard increment suggests $d\hat{H}(t)=dN(t)/Y(t)$. Summing over distinct event times gives the Nelson–Aalen estimatorwhere $d_j$ events occur among $r_j$ individuals at risk. Here there are no ties, so $d_j=1$.

A proportional hazards family has hazard functions related bywhere the hazard ratio $c(z)$ is positive and independent of time. Equivalently, its cumulative hazard functions satisfy $H(t\mid z)=c(z)H_0(t)$ and its survivor functions satisfy $S(t\mid z)=S_0(t{)}^{c(z)}$.
