Dear Stata Users,
some days ago Hugh Robinson reported in the Statalist a problem
occurring when -stcompet-, a macro computing the cumulative incidence,
is used.
Thanks to his collaboration, the following check revealed that
-stcompet- cannot handle properly the survival data when the enter
option in previous -stset- statement has been specified as
-enter(varname==numlist)-. Note that the macro produces correct
estimates if -enter- is specified as -enter(time exp)-.
Thanks to Kit Baum the new version -stcompet- makes this further check
and issues an error message without producing in this case a wrong
cumulative incidence estimate.
In this circumstance -stcompet- has been updated to version 10 removing
the dependence from two Stata user's commands.
Therefore, not having Stata version 10, -stcompet- should not be updated.
Bets wishes.
Enzo
