Dear Nils,
One possibility is to stratify your Cox model according to the variables
with non-proportional hazards and see whether that changes the hazard
ratios for your variables of interest. If it doesn't, then the
non-proportionality is of no consequence for what you are interested in.
Best regards,
Peter.

Subject: st: Violation of porportional hazard assumption in Cox duration
model - consequences?
Dear all,
I am currently estimating a Cox proportional hazard model on duration
data. Unfortunately, tests indicate that the proportional hazard
assumption is violated for some variables. As these are mere control
variables which are not of central interest, I ask myself whether
there are any consequences of this violation for the other parameters
(for which the proportional hazard assumption holds).
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Nils
