-stcox- and -streg- do not handle interval-censored data.
The user-written program -intcens- can fit parametric models to
interval-censored (or right- or left-censored) data. The program -stpm-
fits flexible proportional hazards or proportional odds models and can
also deal with interval-censored data.
Type the following commands to see where you can download the
programs:
ssc describe intcens
findit stpm

Hello. I am fairly new to STATA and am attempting to figure out the
most appropriate survival analytic technique for my data. I have a
dichotomous predictor variable and several dichotomous and continuous
covariates, all of which were measured upon entry into the study, and
then one , dichotomous dependent variable assessed at baseline and 1,3,
and 5 years following the study. It has been suggested that I use the
stcox model. However, I have read through the STATA materials and it is
still unclear to me whether whether stcox can accomodate
interval-censored data, or whether I must use another type of survival
analytic technique. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Edie
