Re: st: Hazard model with multiple entry AND time varying controls?

[Nick Eubank <nickeubank@gmail.com>]

Hi Steve,

The difficulty I'm having is that if I split countries out to one line
per observation (variables all change by year) and identify a country
by its country id, then it only analyzes the first failure. If I split
the country out and give it a different id for each time it goes
through a failure cycle then I'm gonna get issues since STATA doesn't
recognize that its the same country failing repeatedly. Am I just
missing an obvious command to adjust this, or is it a fundamental
problem with stcox and stset?

Austin, that package looks very promising! Thanks!

Nick

See the multiple-record examples in the manual entry for -stset-; the final section "Using survival time data in Stata";  the examples in the entry for -stsplit-; and the sections on time-varying covariates in the manual entry for -stcox-.
