Dear Zackary,
I miss to get your following statement: but a large number of my cases fail
in the first time period for which they are observed and thus are being
excluded from the analysis.
Why are they excluded? Are they censored cases?
Kind Regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Initial failure in Cox hazard models
I am using stcox to do survival analysis, but a large number of my cases
fail in the first time period for which they are observed and thus are being
excluded from the analysis. I 'm concerned this is biasing my results. How
can I deal with this issue? Is there a statistical technique I can use in
stcox, or do I need to add a t=0 period prior to the beginning of each of my
cases?
