Mr. brendan, I have a problem like you. I also want to know the h(t)
estimated at each time point. but I still don't know how to get it.
================
If 'time at risk' is a continuous variable (which is what you appear to
be assuming), then estimates of the hazard rate cannot be defined. That
is why there is no estimate provided in the -st- suite. What the suite
provides is, as Steve Samuels told you, estimates of the /smoothed/
hazard. The distinction is fairly standard, and I recommend that you
consult textbooks and the Stata ST manual to learn more about the
issues. It is only when 'time at risk' is a discrete variable that the
hazard rate per se is well defined (but it is an 'interval hazard' not
the continuous time hazard).
