Dear Statalisters,
I have a question on the command stcompet.
I am considering the entry into a marriage or a dissolution from cohabitation, as
competing risks.
In order to do that, I stset my observations by considering marriage (uniontype==2) as the failure.
Then, I use stcompet to set the dissolution (compet1(1) ) as the competing risk.
This is the code:
stset time, failure(uniontype==2) id(pidnew)
drop cif*
stcompet cif=ci , compet1(1) by(wave5) level(90)
I would like to understand how censored cases are treated.
1) Are they considered in the computation?
2) Should I specify a different competing risk (e.g. compet2(0)) for the censored individuals?
Potential code:
stset time, failure(uniontype==2) id(pidnew)
drop cif*
stcompet cif=ci , compet1(1) compet2(0) by(wave5) level(90)
I would like to understand if you have suggestion on the correct way of proceeding, since I have slightly different curves depending on whether I
am setting censored as competing risks or not.
Thank you and best,
Lydia
