		Cox Regression with Missing not at Random Failure Indicators //
		Implements estimation for the Cox (1972, 1975)
		doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1972.tb00899.x
		doi:10.1093/biomet/62.2.269 proportional hazards model when the
		failure indicator (cause of failure) is missing not at random
		(MNAR), following the two adjusted imputation-based estimating
		equations of Liu and Liu (2026) doi:10.1007/s11222-026-10857-1.
		Also provided for comparison are the full-data partial-
		likelihood estimator of Andersen and Gill (1982)
		doi:10.1214/aos/1176345976, the complete-case estimator, and
		the missing-at-random imputation estimator of Liu and Wang
		(2010, Statistica Sinica, 20, 1125-1142). The probability
		models for the failure indicator and for the missingness
		mechanism are estimated jointly by maximum likelihood following
		Sun, Xie, and Liang (2013) doi:10.1007/s11425-012-4492-x, and a
		Nadaraya-Watson kernel-smoothed estimator of the missingness
		propensity is constructed following Qiu, Chen, and Zhou (2015)
		doi:10.1016/j.spl.2014.12.006. Both an asymptotic (sandwich-
		type) variance estimator and a nonparametric bootstrap variance
		estimator are provided. When failure indicators are fully
		observed the estimators reduce algebraically to the classical
		Cox partial-likelihood estimator.
