| Subject | st: margins with stcrreg |
| Date | Sun, 15 Sep 2013 10:50:05 -0500 |
using the following do file below, how do i interpret the margins? is it correct to say that the predicted hazard of failtype=1 is 5.99, given the competing risk of failtype=2? use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r13/hypoxia, clear stset dftime, failure(failtype == 1) stcrreg ifp tumsize pelnode, compete(failtype == 2) noshr margins in my data, which examines a borrower's risk of foreclosure against the competing risk of prepayment, running a margins command yields 5.56. does this mean a borrower's risk of foreclosure against their competing risk of prepayment is 5.56? if all this is true, why are the margins command returning a whole number? it seems like this ought to be a decimal, like .0599 in the hypoxia data or .0556 in my data. in other words, the command would return a percent, i.e. a patient has a 5.66% risk of failtype=1. hopefully, that all makes sense.
