Dear Martin, 
I tried to load the excerpt of the data set provided in your previous message. Whereas Cox proportional hazard model seems to hold (please, see -estat phtest-), the Gamma generalized regression for finding which parametric survival model fits best with your data, doesn't converge (please, see the error message).

                id:  id
     failure event:  health_state == 1

                             earliest observed entry t =         0
                                  last observed exit t =         7

I cannot rule out the occurrence of some mistakes in my tackling the issues you outlined.

I do hope that it (at least a bit) help.

Dear Carlo,

Many thanks for your suggestion. I've just requested the book from other library. But my question is a little bit urgent, if anyone happens to know the answer could you please kindly help.

Thanks!

Martin
