Hello
I would like to develop the use of R.
Trying R and more particulary the cox model, I am surprised by discrepancies
between results with stata and R for a cox model
With the same data base, I get a hazard ratio (4.82) that is not the same
obtained with stata (4.52)
You will find attached the file leukemia.dta I used (Stata)
Here are the codes for R
library(foreign)
leukemia<-read.dta("leukemia.dta")
library(survival)
res <- coxph(Surv(TIME, STATUS)~TREAT, data=leukemia)
summary(res)
and here the codes for for stata
use "leukemia.dta",clear
stset TIME, failure(STATUS==1)
stcox TREAT
SPSS and EPIinfo give the same HR than Stata
I tried with an other database without any problem
What would be the problem??? I changed of pc and versions of R (2.81 & 2.9.0)
without any change. The means are the same for the two packages.
I saw a few posts with discrepancies but with no explanations
Thanks in advance
