Re: st: Re: limiting observations within a program

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinest.org>]

Thanks Martin. This is my program. It first estimates probability of 
receiving treatment (called "tcm"), and then weights the data for 
-stcox-. There was one observation in which the weight was missing, 
I'm attempting to include a line in my program to drop that one 
observation.

capture program drop msmcox_stageALL_includeIPTWd
	program define msmcox_stageALL_includeIPTWd, rclass
	tempname p_tcm_ALL		p_notcm_ALL	p_ALL 
	p_noALL		wt_stab_ALL

	* fit the full model used in Traditional Cox
	logit tcm dxage sex celltype txsurg txrad txchemo

	*estimate probability of treatment
	predict `p_tcm_ALL'
	gen `p_notcm_ALL' = 1-`p_tcm_ALL' if tcm==0	//want p(tcm) 
for both users and nonusers
	replace `p_tcm_ALL' =`p_notcm_ALL' if tcm==0

	*create stabilized weight==P(A)/P(A|W)
	logit tcm 
	predict `p_ALL'
	gen `p_noALL'		=	1-`p_ALL' if tcm==0
	replace `p_ALL'	=	`p_noALL' if tcm==0
	gen `wt_stab_ALL'	=	`p_ALL'/`p_tcm_ALL'

	* stset the data
	stset lastcontact [`iweight=wt_stab_ALL'], failure(failed) 
origin(datedx) scale(30.4375)	/*wt: stabilized IPTW*/

	* cox
		stcox tcm if `wt_stab_ALL'!=.
	indeplist, local
	foreach var of varlist `X' {
		return scalar `var' = exp(_b[`var'])
	}
end 
set seed 12358
eststo MSM_t_I: bootstrap tcm=r(tcm), eform reps(10): 
msmcox_stageALL_includeIPTWd
