stcrreg and delayed entry

[Suhail Doi]

Does stcrreg implement the left-truncated Fine–Gray estimator of Zhang, Zhang & Fine (2011, Statistics in Medicine), or does it implement only the original Fine & Gray (1999) model while allowing delayed-entry data through the st framework?

Dear All,

What I mean by left truncated is with origin and enter in stset (delayed entry)

Thanks for your help in advance

-stcrreg- implements only the 1999 Fine & Gray model. Delayed entry can be modeled using the -origin()- and -enter()- options as noted in #2.

Thanks Clyde,

So delayed entry through stset is fine to combine with stcrreg?

I have never had occasion to do that, so I can't say that I have ever deeply verified that. But my understanding is that, yes, you can do that.

Many thanks Clyde, seems logical
