Dear R-users,

To test the effect of training (a time-varying qualitative covariate) on the transition to management rate by means of event history models, I would like to split my data by the training date.

Excerpt of my data:

  StatusN Duration DummyOtherEp TimingOtherTraining
1       0     1178            0               10000
2       1       45            0               10000
3       1     1209            0               10000
4       1     2235            1                 250
5       0     2411            0               10000

With:
-       StatusN: event (=1) or right-censored (=0).
- Duration: time until the transition to management or until the end date of data collection. - DummyOtherEp: whether someone had training during the episode (=1). - Timing other training: training date relative to the beginning of the episode (employees without training received the value 10000).

I tried to use survSplit to do the episode splitting, but that does not work. E.g.:

split1 <-survSplit(babyfile,cut="TimingOtherTraining", end="Duration", event="StatusN",
start="start", episode="i")

Does anyone know how to split episodes with qualitative covariates in R? Thanks in advance.
