Dear stata users
Thanks for Ricardo's idea, but there are two problems: one that the
estimates obtained are not the same as those that stcurve plots (perhaps the
fact that my covariates are categorical variables with more than 2 levels I
may have used the adjustfor option in the wrong way - I put in the dummy
variables, except the baseline ones - so I stand to be corrected on this
one) and two, that one only gets a listing at the time points in the dataset
and not at all the time points.
Here is a snippet of code which gives one of the graphs with 8 curves
corresponding to the 8 sizegroups (similarly for the other 12 countries).
Regarding point one, I can't reproduce the values in the output file
cox1.dta using the sts list command - I've tried using both the by and
adjustfor commands. Assuming one can reproduce the values, how does one
overcome point two above?

I think that you can use the -sts list- with the -adjustfor()-. Acording to
the help file it fits a Cox model.

Ricardo.
