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:
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).
