Thank you Jeff! Two follow-up questions if I may:
The p-values in the tables reported by Stata's estimation commands,
including -bootstrap-, are always for tests against zero. -stcox- reports
exponentiated coefficients (hazard ratios) by default, but the reported
tests are of the null hypotheses that the true underlying coefficients are
zero.
Can either command be specified to test against the value of one?
The -force- option of -bootstrap- accomplishes the above, but I must
strongly warn that it is the user's responsibility to verify that
resampling observations and using the weights associated with the
resampled observations is appropriate.
Are there guidelines or examples for implementing this?
Best wishes,
