st: Hunger Games Survival Analysis (Using Stata)

[Richard Williams <richardwilliams.ndu@gmail.com>]

"As a student of epidemiology and economics I feel duty-bound to 
apply my cursory knowledge of statistics to the novel natural cohort 
presented in the Hunger Games novel, as documented by author Suzanne 
Collins. I present a Hunger Games survival analysis: in a Cox 
proportional hazards model, which covariates are associated with the 
odds (or hazard ratios) being ever in your favor?"

Data set and Stata 11.2 do file are included. If Stata can win over 
the Hunger Games crowd, SAS & SPSS are finished.

Oh, and congratulations to Nick Cox, for having his tab_chi package 
mentioned (although the failure to properly cite SSC is a major 
drawback). And thanks to ND Sociology Grad Student Linda Kawental for 
passing it along.

Not perfect, but overall it is pretty good. However, I predict the 
author will be in grad school for at least another 15 or 20 years.
