Abstract
This paper establishes conditions for the nonparametric identifiabilit y of the mixed proportional hazards model with time-varying coefficien ts. Unlike the mixed proportional hazards model, a regressor with two distinct values is not sufficient to identify this model. An unbounded regressor, however, is sufficient for identification.
