[R] Coxph

[Heinz Tuechler]

>From the help page of Surv:
"Although unusual, the event indicator can be omitted, in which case all
subjects are assumed to have an event."

That means, you can use coxph that way, _but_ it depends on your model.
Do you really want to model the time on study regardless of the kind of event?

Greetings,
Heinz Tüchler
