Re: st: declaring a person period dataset and fitting discrete-time survival models with st and MI

[Steve Samuels <sjsamuels@gmail.com>]

MI.   With data in the person-period format, --cloglog- does not take
a "time" variable. See "lesson 8" referenced below

 The _d1 _d2 dummies are used as covariates so that you can get a
separate estimate of the probability in each period.


See Chapter 9, especially Section 9.3, of Stephen Jenkins's wonderful
book "Survival Analysis" at
http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/teaching/stephenj/ec968/pdfs/ec968lnotesv6.pdf

and his lesson 8 on setting up the analysis with Stata at
http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/survival-analysis
