Re: st: survival analysis

Martine-

First of all I apologize for misspelling your name in my first post.

I've seen survival analysis applied to suppression data, but it's not
simple.  I'm afraid that I don't have sufficient knowledge in this
area to advise you. If you are at a medical center, perhaps the
statisticians can help or point you in the right direction.

Best of luck,

Steve
