Dear Statalist,
I am analyzing the marriage event using a two-wave survey (2001 &
2003). The dependent variable =0 if the respondent is unmarried and 1
otherwise. The purpose is to analyze whether a program implemented
after the 2001 survey delayed marriage among the respondents.
I was advised to use discrete-time survival analysis using logistic
regression in STATA, with 2 observations per respondent. But I have
two unanswered questions:
(1) I was told to include those who were already married in 2001. Does
this make sense?
(2) Also, all the studies I have read using discrete-time survival
analysis have more than 2 observations per respondent. Is it a problem
that I only have 2?
I would be so appreciative if someone could help me out!!!!
Thank you very much,
Luciana
