Dear Statlisters,
I need your help to structure (set up) my data for Cox
hazard analysis. I have a three year panel data. My
objective is to look at the predictors for exit/entry
from poverty. Here is how my data look like:
Marital Family Employment Poverty
id time status size Status Status
1 sept, 1996 Divorce 5 Employer Not poor
1 Oct, 1997 Divorce 5 Employer Not poor
1 Feb, 1999 Married 6 Employer Not poor
2 sept, 1996 Married 3 Unemplyd Poor
2 Oct, 1997 Married 3 Employd Not poor
2 Feb, 1999 Married 3 Employd Not poor
3 sept, 1996 Not marr. 1 Employd Not poor
3 Oct, 1997 Married 2 Employd Poor
3 Feb, 1999 Married 3 Out of LF Not Poor
4 sept, 1996 Married 3 Employd poor
4 Oct, 1997 Married 4 Employd Not Poor
4 Feb, 1999 Widowed 4 Employd Poor
...........

I have 3 exits and 2 entries.
I am using codes for marital status (1-4), employment
status (1-5). out of LF = Out of the labor force.
Grateful for your help!
Tesfayi
