What do you mean by "time of failure". The Cox Model, because of its non-parametric character, does not lend itself to prediction of explicit functions of "time". If you are looking for the expected failure time, you could use the fact that it is equal to the integral of the survivor function over the positive real line. Of course, your data doesn't extend that far.

You may also want to examine streg. You must specify a parent distribution, from which various functionals can be estimated by matching moments, for example.

Dear all,

How can I get the predicted time of failure using the Cox Model.
I would really appreciate any help.
