There is a discussion in Appendix D.3 of "Modeling Survival Data" by Thereau and Grambsch regarding the differences in the datasets including the fact that "there was significantly more follow-up for many patients at the time this dataset was assembled". I do not see a material difference i

Hi, When I run the following Cox proportional hazards model on the Mayo clinic's PBC data set (given in the "survival" package), the regression coefficients do not agree with the results presented in Table 4.6.3 (p. 195) of Fleming & Harrington's book. library(survival) data(pbc) ans.cox <-
