This function implements the approximate conditional inferential approach of kz19;textualPHInfiniteEstimates to proportional hazards regression.

Proportional hazards estimation in the presence of a partially monotone likelihood has difficulties, in that finite estimators do not exist.  These difficulties are related to those arising from logistic and multinomial regression.  References for methods are given in the separate function documents.
