standsurv
The standsurv command estimates standardized survival curves and related measures. It also allows various contrasts between the standardized functions. It is a post-estimation command and can be used after fitting a wide range of survival models. These include streg models (except generalized gamma), stpm2 models and strcs models.
Note I previously developed stpm2_standsurv, which only works with stpm2 models, but standsurv superceeds that. You can do the same things with standsurv and much, much more.
So some of the examples are the same as stpm2_standsurv. I will add more examples soon showing some of the additional things standsurv can do.
You can install standsurv within Stata using
. ssc install standsurv
Note that standsurv no longer available on this site, so please use SSC.
Using standsurv
Standard Survival Models
- Standardized survival functions and contrasts.
- Centiles of the standardized survival function.
- Restricted mean survival using standardized survival functions.
- The hazard function of the standardized survival curve.
- Estimating attributable fractions in cohort studies
- Some comments on why I am not so keen on
stteffects - Why just not use
margins?
Competing Risk Models
- Standardized cause-specific cumulative incidence functions.
- Other useful standardized measures in competing risks
Relative/Net Survival Models
- Standardized Relative Survival.
- External age-standardization
- Loss in Expectation of Life
