Dear R users!
I reformulate the question with another example perhaps my question will be
more clearly now.
I have several subjects. One subject has multiple records. Only a starting
point exists the end point is vague.
Here is an example:
itm ID exercise time
1.401869 1 0 1
1.324390 1 0 2
1.324390 1 0 3
1.333338 1 0 4
1.346761 1 0 5
1.315441 1 1 6
1.337812 2 0 1
1.319915 2 0 2
1.351235 2 1 3
itm is the covariate;
ID is the subject Id;
exercise indicates if the subject is dead=1 or alive=0
How can I allocate the multiple records to one subject (for example record
1-6 are part of subject with ID 1 record 7-9 are part of subject with ID2)
and process a survival regression.
the "survRegData <- survreg(formula=Surv(time,exercise)~itm, data=Data,
dist="weibull")" command doesn't take into account that multiple records are
part of one subject.
Many thanks!
