Solution

Under independent right censoring, observation

(x_{i}, d_{i})

contributes

f (x_{i}; η)^{d_{i}} S (x_{i}; η)^{1 - d_{i}} = h (x_{i}; η)^{d_{i}} S (x_{i}; η),

where

d_{i}

indicates an event. Multiply these contributions, take the log-likelihood, and maximize it over the parametric survival-model parameter

η

, numerically if the score equations have no closed form.
