Subject: st: stset and stsum problem
Dear statlist,
I have tried to set my data for a survival analysis, but I have a  
problem when use stset and put all the observations censored.
My dataset is this:
id  firstyearentry yearentry    yearexit    duration canvi
1      3/2001        3/2001       3/2002       12      0
1       3/2001      4/2002          9/2002       17     1
2       8/2002       8/2002         11/2002       3     0
2       8/2002       12/2002        5/2003        9     0
3 .....
...
The command that I use is:
stset dur, f(canvi==1) id(id)
If I put all the observation censored and not with stsum I have this:
  stsum;
          failure _d:  canvi
    analysis time _t:  dur
                  id:  id
          |               incidence       no. of    |------ Survival  
time -----|
          | time at risk     rate        subjects        25%       50%  
       75%
---------+--------------------------------------------------------------
-------
    total |     10661543   .0002694         34301       1025         .  
         .
If I  take only the observation with failure ==1 I have this:
     failure _d:  canvi
    analysis time _t:  dur
                  id:  id
          |               incidence       no. of    |------ Survival  
time -----|
          | time at risk     rate        subjects        25%       50%  
       75%
---------+--------------------------------------------------------------
-------
    total |       960671   .0030687          2951        131       283  
       469
Someone can help me to understand where is the error?
Thanks in advance.
best,
catia
