This is actually normal behavior, as -stcox- is not run separately
as Stephanie wrote, but within -micombine-. Stephanie can specify
the -eform- option within -micombine- to get hazard ratios.
As a matter of terminology it is good to know that -stcox- never
gives you hazard rates, but always hazard ratios. The whole point
of -stcox- is that you do not have to specify a functional form
for the baseline hazard rate.
