Abstract: Abstract We present a bootstrap resampling plan for the Cox partial likelihood estimator for proportional hazards models with nonrandom explanatory variables. Instead of resampling observed times, the proposed plan resamples from the Uniform(0,1) distribution of probability integral transformations of conditional failure times. The analysis can be completed without transforming resainpled values back into the original time scale, because the partial likelihood is invariant to monotone increasing transformations of the failure times. Adaptations to a variety of censoring schemes are discussed. A simulation study provides comparisons with standard partial likelihood estimation procedures and resampling plans that assume random explanatory variables.
