mrsprep
The mrsprep
command restructures survival data and calculates weighted mean expected mortality rates and time-dependent weights so that a marginal relative survival can be directly estimated. After running mrsprep
estimation commands that fit (conditional) relative survival models (e.g. stpm3
) can be used to estimate marginal relative survival without the need to include covariates that affect expected survival.
You can install mrsprep
within Stata using
ssc install mrsprep .
