In this paper, we considered the problem of dependent censoring models with a positive probability that the times of failure are equal. In this context, we proposed to consider the Marshall-Olkin type model and studied some properties of the associated survival copula in its application to censored data. We also introduced estimators for the marginal distributions and the joint survival probabilities under different schemes and showed their asymptotic normality under appropriate conditions. Finally, we evaluated the finite-sample performance of our approach relying on a small simulation study on synthetic data, and an application to real data.
