In this paper, we consider a novel framework of positive-unlabeled data in which as positive data survival times are observed for subjects who have events during the observation time as positive data and as unlabeled data censoring times are observed but whether the event occurs or not are unknown for some subjects. We consider two cases: (1) when censoring time is observed in positive data, and (2) when it is not observed. For both cases, we developed parametric models, nonparametric models, and machine learning models and the estimation strategies for these models. Simulation studies show that under this data setup, traditional survival analysis may yield severely biased results, while the proposed estimation method can provide valid results.
