Description of -stns-, a Stata command that implements the Pohar Perme estimator for discrete survival time data (e.g., life tables).
This page shows code for calculating the Pohar-Perme non-parametric estimate of marginal relative survival using the following four user-written Stata commands.
stnet strs stpp stns Code comparing the estimates from strs, stns, stpp, and stns is available for two data sets:
The code used in this tutorial, along with links to the data, is available here.
This code illustrates how to apply the “Brenner alternative approach” to age-standardise net survival using external (ICSS) weights.
This page illustrates the algorithm used by strs for estimating relative survival using the Ederer II approach.
A tutorial illustrating how to model excess mortality (relative survival) using Poisson regression.
History of -strs-, including links to previous versions.
In this tutorial, we estimate net survival using both the Ederer II approach and the Pohar Perme approach. We do this using both -stnet- and -strs- (and get the same results).
Short tutorial illustrating how to estimate relative survival using -strs-.
This page describes the Stata `strs` command and related files for estimating and modelling relative and survival.
This page describes SAS (version 7) code I made public in 2004. I was a heavy SAS user in the 1980s and 1990s, but from the turn of the century I moved to Stata.
