Dear Statalister,
I am trying to use Stcompet to determine the cause specific mortality
rate on a dataset with about 3500 subjects, 30000 observations and 3
possible causes.
I use stset first:
stset time1, id(id) time0(time0) failure(path==1)
the results are as follows:
id: id
failure event: path == 1
obs. time interval: (time0, time1]
exit on or before: failure
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30367 total obs.
2671 obs. begin on or after (first) failure
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27696 obs. remaining, representing
3521 subjects
563 failures in single failure-per-subject data
27696 total analysis time at risk, at risk from t = 0
earliest observed entry t =1
last observed exit t =15
then I use stcompet:
stcompet test1=ci test2=se, compet1(2) compet2(3)
In the new variables generated, there are numbers when the failure
variable (=1, 2 or 3), but in other rows, the value is missing.
I have searched Statalist Archive and found that someone had the same
problem but I did not find the answer. I would be grateful if anyone
could help me on this.
Many thanks.
Natalie
