Dear Statalist,
On page 186 of Cleves et al (2008) is "Let's instead pretend that the
drug is administered only once upon entry to the study and that its
level in the bloodstream decays at an exponential rate ..."
I have a dataset where there are multiple administrations of the drug
over time. The tvc and texp options of -stcox- allow the concentration
of a single administration of the drug to be calculated over time.
Can tvc() and texp() be used when there are multiple administrations of
the drug so that a time-varying concentration can be obtained?
