Re: st: stset with multiple spells
You don't want to reset the second risk set as 0 as you need to incorporate
the history of the individuals that experienced the first event. Typically,
event history models analyze the occurrence and timing of an event that may
be experienced only once; the observed survival or failure times are assumed
to be independent. However, in the multiple failure time data, observed
failure times within the same individual cannot be assumed to be
independent. Note that repeated event data are a special type of event
history data, which records the timing of transitions between two or more
discrete states. If you reset the second risk set as 0, you arbitrarily
treat the individuals that experienced the first event and others which did
not experience it (or have yet to experience it) the same. So, you better
code them with sequential event numbers, rather than resetting to 0.
Hope it helps,

Thank you so much, Chris. The paper you suggest is great. It's very long,
so I
couldn't read it in detail, but seems that it's going to help me a lot,
especially considering that it brings the codes. However, at least at
first
sight, it doesn't seem to help me with the issue of setting the analysis
time
to zero again when the individual enters the second period of time at
risk. I
mean, after the first failure, and a period of time of not being at risk.
Do
you know how can I do it?
Thanks a lot.
Juan
Quoting Chris Chung <[email protected]>:
Cleves' STB-49 should be a good place to start. You may also want to look
at:
Ezell, M.E., Land, K.C., & Cohen, L.E. 2003. Modeling multiple failure
time
data: A Survey of variance-corrected proportional hazards models with
empirical applications to arrest data. Sociological Methodology, 33:
111-167.
HTH,
