I have estimated a Cox model and now want to use stcurve to produce
the survival function at various values of interest for the parameters
in my model so that I can report the probability of survival at a
particular point in time given the parameters that I assign. The
problem I am facing is that, due to violations of the proportional
hazards assumption, I have interacted one of the variables in my model
(a variable that I want to simulate values of in stcurve) with
ln(time). For example, I have a variable that describes the level of
fatalities (fatal) in conflict as a categorical variable that I
include in the model along with an interaction with time
(fatal*ln(time)). If I want to use stcurve to generate the values of
the survival function when fatal=4, what is the most reasonable value
to assign for the fatal*ln(time) variable (ie; what value should I set
for time)?
I am grateful for any advice that anyone might have.
Best,
Michael Greig
