Hi Yuval,
The baseline survival is calculated for every observed event time in the
dataset for the reference group (those subjects with
all covariates=0). Based on your example, you calculated a baseline
survival for the model which included max_red1. Another baseline
survival is calculated for the model which included max_red2. These
baseline survivals are different because the reference group represents
something slightly different when you generated max_red1 and max_red2.
This variation in baseline survival, I believe, does modify the survival
rates.
