Simulation scenarios and numbers (#) are identical in Tables 1 and 3 except for how censoring time was generated. Here, censoring time wasgenerated as a function of covariate: Cnew=I(W=1)*C*0.5+I(W=0)*C*1.5 in Table 3a andCnew=I(X=1)*C*0.5+I(X=0)*C*1.5 in Table 3b.

Entry in each cell represents mean of bias (1st row), sample standard error/mean ofstandard error estimates (2nd row), mean squared error (3rd row), and coverageprobability (last row) for log(HR).

All numbers were multiplied by 100.

1000 simulations were conducted.

10% of total sample size (n) was selected for validation sample.

HR denotes hazards ratio.
