+The semi-parametric  estimation
+under  the proportional hazards (PH) model with a linearly time-dependent
+covariates and with interval-censored data has not been investigated before.
+The partial likelihood approach does not work and one has to use the
+generalized likelihood function (GLF).
+There is a challenge in this problem.
+The GLF must be  in the form of
+the baseline hazard function, rather than the baseline survival function
+as in the PH model with time-independent covariates,
+and a feasible way to specify the hazard function is a piece-wise constant
+function. However,
+several naive ways do not yield a consistent estimator.
+We propose proper modifications of the GLF.
