Abstract: We study the Cox problem with proportional risks and measurement errors. The asymptotic properties of the simultaneous estimator $\lambda _n({\boldsymbol \cdot })$, $\beta _n$ of the baseline hazard function $\lambda ({\boldsymbol \cdot })$ and regression parameter $\beta$ are considered in the papers [6] and [3] for the case of a bounded set of parameters $\Theta =\Theta _{\lambda }\times \Theta _{\beta }$. In the current paper, the set $\Theta _{\lambda }$ is unbounded from above and is not separated from zero. The estimator is constructed in the following two steps. First, one obtains a strictly consistent estimator and, second, this estimator is corrected in order to obtain an asymptotically normal estimator.
