Re: st: survival
Sebastián,
Without more information, I cannot tell whether your survival setup  
is correct.   With logistic regression, one has to create a new  
observation for each person and period. I think that this is what you  
have done. However, with a complex sample design you should -svyset-  
your data and use -svy: logistic-, not plain -logistic-.  This will  
compute standard errors appropriate to the design.  You might also  
try -gllamm-, which will accept PSU's and -pweights- and   will fit a  
model with added heterogeneity.
With the expanded person-period setup, -svy: cloglog- will fit a  
grouped proportional hazards model.  Download Stephen Jenkins's - 
hshaz- from SSC and see the references  in the -help-.

I'm working with a discrete-time survival model, and I have doubts
about how to use weight (pweights) in a person-period data. I did the
following:

Is it correct?
exp is sampling weight, inverse of the probability that the
observation is included because of the sampling design. When I use
pweights I have problem with lrtest too, because I have to "force" the
process.
