Hi,
I have a trouble knowing what exactely is the time variable
in stset command.
I want to compute a weibull model on the determinants of
child survival and I have an age variable along with
household and child characteristics.
Is it ok to set age as the analysis time, with correcting for
those children who are dead?
I do not have a origin and exit dates, only the age of child and the
interview date.

su agechild
replace agechild = agedeath if dead==1

stset agechild, failure(dead) id(childid)

Is it normal that stsum produces missings for 25, 50 and 75 percentiles?

Best regards.
Amadou.
