Re: st: Parametric survival aalysis with competing risks

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

What exactly do you mean by "The goal is the prediction of spontaneous 
preterm labour"? Did you want relative hazard rates for spontaneous 
pre-term labour, or a predictive score for spontaneous pre-term labour, 
or an estimate for the probability of spontaneous pre-term labour that 
you can quote to pregnant women, assuming that they do not opt for 
induction of labour or surgery? Or something else?

Best wishes

Roger
