^stselpre^ is for use with survival-time data; see help @st@. Before using the > command, data must be prepared for case-cohort analysis by ^stcascoh^; see help @stcasco > h@.
Description -----------
^stselpre^ returns estimates and standard errors from proportional hazards fit > to case-cohort data. Coefficients are estimated according to two methods:
- Self-Prentice scheme. Risk sets uses just the sub-cohort member at risk, - Prentice scheme. Risk sets are augmented by non sub-cohort cases when they fa > il.
The asymptotic Self-Prentice method variance-covariance matrix and standard err > ors are computed using the simplification described in Therneau and Li (1999).
The syntax of @predict@ following ^stselpre^ is as in ^stcox^
Options -------
^nohr^ specifies that coefficients rather than hazard ratios are to be displaye > d ^nohr^ may be typed at estimation or when replaying previously estimated re > sults.
^level(^#^)^ specifies the confidence level for the confidence intervals of the coefficients; see help @level@. ^level^ may be also specified when replayin > g previously estimated results.
^self^ specifies that Self-Prentice method coefficient vector is to be saved in > e(b). Prentice method coefficients are saved by default.
^breslow^, ^efron^, ^exactm^, and ^exactp^ each specify a method for handling t > ied deaths that the underlying ^stcox^ command executes. ^efron^ is the default > .
^noshow^ prevents ^stselpre^ from displaying the identities of the key st varia > bles above its output.
^force^ prevents ^stselpre^ from doing some check on the data set previously pr > epared by ^stcascoh^.
