Proc lifetest for competing risk

GS2 — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:26:48 GMT

Using SAS 9.4

I am running the following code:

proc lifetest data=cr.analysis OUTCIF=cif_output atrisk plots=cif(test cl);
time tt_censor_date*binary_mortality(0)/eventcode=1;
strata pvd;
ods output GrayTest=graytest;
run;

Is it possible to adjust the x-axis ticklist (normally I use %providesurvivalmacros but this macro does not appear to work with competing risks)?

Is it possible to add 95% CI bands to the graph instead of CL bands? Thank you

The question you're asking is outside my area of expertise (such as it is) and possibly of others here on the Programming forum. Not sure, but I notice no one has yet responded to your question.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting it here in the Programming forum, but I wonder if it might be seen by more qualified people if you posted it in one of the Analytics forums (see below). Just a thought.

Best of luck!

Thank you. I will try my question there.

I merged everything into the statprocs thread.

If you need a post moved, do a shoutout to a superuser (like me), as we can do that.

The documentation clearly states which templates are modified. Enable ODS trace output and see if those are the ones you are using.

Thank you for the documentation. That explains why the %providesurvivalmacro does not work. However, it does not answer the questions that were intent of this post. Do you know if either one of my original questions (see below) are possible. Thank you
