Dear Roland,
just a brief remark about your query.
Why do not consider a parametric model, such as Weibull, since your death
rates seem to decline steadily as time goes by?

Kind Regards and All the Best for your research project,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: exlogistic for survival data?

I am analysing 127 patients operated for thyroid cancer with 15
deaths, most of them early. Followed up for 20 years. I would like to
make multivariate analysis of difference in survival, but can not use
coxregression because of the few numbers. Can I use exlogistic to
obtain some meaningful results, ie defining predictors of death at a
certain point in time?
