So what are the assumptions that I should look out for?
Any more answers on the other parts of my question?
Thanks again.

Re: st: Cox Regression
I would not think so. You are basing your decision of non-significance
on a test whose
validity is based on an assumption. If the assumption is not valid,
then neither is the test.
Think of a simple analogy with linear models. Suppose the relation
between y and x is a
V-shaped one. The coefficient of x in a linear model may well test out
to zero. That would
not mean that the relationship is linear.
m.p.
