The generalized maximum likelihood estimator (GMLE) is derived and some if its variants are compared with the partial Abdushukurov–Cheng–Lin (PACL) and Kaplan–Meier (KM) estimators under the proportional hazards model with partially informative censoring. A comparison of small sample properties is conducted based on a simulation study. The results show that the GMLEs perform competitively with the PACL estimator.
